You wrote "A hill or grade in California is a long incline that seems to go
forever. I-15 out of Barstow to Las Vegas is one. Going up no problem but
coming down, even in low low, I had hot brakes."
The most important thing you said was the 'HOT BRAKES'.
Don't care about getting to the top faster than anyone else, just want to
get down the other side safely.
I purchased the "Mountain Directory for Truckers,RV and Motorhome Drivers"
just so that when I went into parts of the country that I never had driven
in before I would at least have some idea as to what the grades were when I
came down the other side. They don't have all the hills listed, but they
have quite a few and it is informative.
