Ah yes, that's what I meant. The Franconia notch. I should have known as I drive it every other week on my delivery runs to Littleton. For some reason I had the kanc highway on my mind. They're both in same area. I just knew it looked familiar. So does that mean the author is from this area or was he just passing through? Pretty weird that it just stood out to me like that.
thanks moose for the clarification.
