    • Cursed? More like a matter of science, physics and subpar driving. The road isn’t banked well in the curves if you’re not careful one wrong move will send you reeling. They are always working on the road and will continue for the unforeseeable future because they built it on serpentine soil, blue clay…it’s unstable and when it gets wet turns liquid. The ground under that road moves so they have to make adjustments constantly.

      • Cass Yes! Someone who actually knows what they speak of. People drive way to fast through there, and when they widened 101 through that area, they didn’t really change anything except added drains and lanes!
