they also have a women's prison there too
the railroad pass that always got my attention was on Soldier Summit Utah
there was (use to be) a old railroad town about half way across the summit named
Thistle ... until one day the whole town slid off the side off the mountain
if I remember right it was 21 miles up the pass and 21 miles down it
here is a list of some of the other passes in the USA
but they left off the most famous one nicknamed "Cabbage" which is part of
the Blue Mountains in Oregon / Idaho
Cabbage from the top is like looking down out of an airplane window and will
put your pucker factor in the red part of the scale ...
