Today I'm going to write about what I call the "J" curve. It was going to happen sometime and since karma seems to have guided the thread to traffic & vehicles, etc, I'll roll with it today hence this post on The J Curve.
The J curve is a curve in the road about 1/4 mile north of Kamp Koon. Most road curves are circular curves having a consistent radius but the J curve is a spiral curve having a radius that changes as one drives along it.
Driving north, approaching from the south, one enters a fairly sharp curve and its visibly, to a driver, recognised as a sharp curve and hence one can slow accordingly, adjusting ones speed & braking as the curve is entered.
About halfway thru the J curve, one now recognised that it smooths out, becoming flatter and can increase speed before approaching the straightening road to the Northeast........
let me point out here that this curve is very well marked to SLOW DOWN - DANGEROUS CURVE- 25MPH MAXIMUM! Blah, blah.
When approaching said curve from the NE driving southerly, it appears to be a much flatter curve as one enters it, BUT! If one is travelling in excess of say 30 -35 mph you will rapidly realize you're travelling too fast as you enter the sharp hook, what i call the bottom of the J, as one realizes they are experiencing an OH ****! Moment.
At least a couple times a month someone leaves the roadway, goes thru the ditch, rolls over across the ditch, skids a hundred feet into the forest (if they manage to avoid trees) etc........ car, motorcycle, pick up, etc, doesnt matter. Over the years Ive seen them all fail to negotiate this curve and in the 10 ish years I've been bunkin up at Kamp Koon there have been 3 fatalities. The latest, about 6 weex ago just after my return.
Especially on weekends, too, it is regularly patrolled by both State Police & Sheriff but to no avail.
On the weekends when the non locals invade the area is always the worst as they seem to ignore the warnings and more than once while sitting by the kampfire I've heard the unmistakable sound of tires or brakes or gravel or shouts of someone that has been educated by the J Curve.
More to come
jonny boi
into Kamp for the kampfire. 
yeah I cut them in 12’ 4” length. Load them on the flat bed trailer and un load them at Kamp. Cut them in 4’ 1” length for stacking till needed. Then they’re cut in 16” length for splitting to burn.

. I’ve always taken care of myself and any woman that has ever run with me better be able to take care of herself. 
about 5” shell diameter.
