Vertigo

Ok, Tomorrow I'm driving to Granby, CO.  This is on the Continental Divide, that is to say, probably the highest point in the Continental US.

I'm having spells of vertigo as I drive.  This is not good.  It seems to happen when there are dropoffs to the side. Not having guardrails makes the issue larger.  There is a strange absence of my usual total connection to the road, and it's quite distressing.

So you see the issue.

I've been using Google Maps to plot my route, and it chooses the shortest route.  Tomorrow's route will not do, and I've spent an hour and a half finding a better one.  I've come up with this.

I've spent that hour and a half in Google Maps dropping the little man representing Street View onto various portions of the route, and I think I've found a route that'll work.  That, plus the Vertigoheel supplement I'm taking ought to do the trick.  There's a two mile section that can't be avoided, but in 6 hours of driving, I can manage one two mile section by slowing way the heck down and repeating my mantra: The Honda S2000 is a supreme driving machine affording precision control.

Here goes.
