My hubby drove past it.pulled over and called me so I didn’t freak knowing I was listening to scanner!!it looked bad.so very sorry.
The most dangerous road I have ever driven strikes again! If you’re not going to show it the respect it demands, then you should at least prepare yourself for a life changing event.
I see it as yet another win for 36!!!
I can only hope is was an out-of-state grower here only to take and not give back. Even better if they hadn’t started harvesting.
That is horrible you should be ashamed someone’s family died be more respectful
Straight up Jamie this hater shit gets so old someone just died that probably had family that loved them very much did you know that you would not even be alive if you were not in an old family think about it really.
Ya totaly and there’s nothing wrong with growers as long as they don’t hurt anyone and most are pretty harmless
Don’t you think there’s enough pain in the world?
Are we surprised? Look at his posting name. Yet another idiot we’ll have to put up with…….
“Don’t you think” sounds like you’re asking if there is a black hole in their brains….It’s so much fun watching the little puppets dance……
Beat it!
So the deceased person was a friend of my family. Please, I ask for respect… Thank you
I read Kym’s blog daily, and I find it to be very well worth reading , but then you read the comments that people leave and it makes one realize that there are a lot of pathetic people who have nothing better to do than to hate, be disrespectful , etc. the list is to long to type. In my opinion these people sit hiding behind their monitors flapping their gums not caring what pathetic bullshit spews from their lips. They feel so mighty hiding behind their monitors because in real life, which apparently they don’t have one because they are nothing more than miserable little piss ants who no one gives a flying F–K about because no one likes haters. Someday you might be the topic of a story and as they say ” KARMA IS A BITCH!!!”. I agree there is too much hate and hurt in this world, is this really how we want to spend our time here on earth doing nothing but hating and hurting? If so then beam me up Scottie!!!
i agree Emma. im lucky enough to lay my head on my pillow for another nite. tommorow could be a different story. good nite.
Thank you for posting your reaction; I agree. af
It’s not the road it’s the bad drivers, there was another car over the side 35′ feet down at mp 18.47 on 36 in trinity last night about 7pm non injury just some cuts etc..
I agree it’s not the road, as long as it’s driven carefully. I’ve driven 36, 30+ years and haven’t had one accident.
Me too going on 40
I have but when I first moved here, my first experience with black ice and the tree I fought obviously won… But have been careful the rest of my 9 years here
I drive 36 many times a year pulling a trailer load of horses, especially during buck season…Have been ran off the road many times by folks going way to fast comming at me…I always allow those behind me to pass….You have to be careful on 36, especially around Buck Mtn….A little courtesy goes a long way…
I live since 2007 up in the area. And no, I don’t smoke it, I don’t grow it….. and yes, a special kind of people is driving like idiots on Hwy 36 ! Speeding, cutting corners, tailgating because they are all the time in a hurry and don’t care and don’t give a shit ! Special the beat up lifted trucks and cars with the funny smell !
Ask the local towers and CHP who causes all the accident !
yes you write like Russia Immigrant, drive road fast yes yuri, no grow pot we like grow tomatoes yes tomatoes we like grow
Give that man or woman a Bison Grass!
I have been driving 36 since ’83 and always wear my SEATBELT and stay on my side of the road..
This road is dangerous, the drivers that have driven it for years without incident, are wary in their driving no matter what road they are on. The unfamiliar to Hwy 36 are baited into trouble when they see the 55 mph speed limit, and they try to maintain it on sections of Hwy 36 that should be driven at speeds well below that.
I used to enjoy driving out 36 because it’s one of the prettiest drives in Humboldt County. Now it has a race track feel to it. It’s not a video game people.
Condolences to the family sorry for your loss
So sorry for the loss my husband was killed up there as well….by the airport drive with caution for sure..xx
