Post by: Max Rockatansky on December 31, 2022, 10:41:13 PM

So, Iowa is #1 in the "flat state" category?

Hells no, not when you have the likes of Snake Alley:

Remember folks, flatness equates to greater degrees of evil.  Why do you think Illinois and Florida are portrayed so negatively these days?

Looked at your Snake Alley photos ... Ehh, 21% grade is nothing!  Don't we have a user proposing grades of 24% on Interstate highways?

You're right, how could I forget that 24% is for pussies?

I was willing to not break the peace, unfortunately his flatness decided otherwise.

Wisconsin has three large hilly areas, the Canadian Shield (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Shield) in the north, the Driftless Area (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Driftless_Area) in the southwest, and the Kettle Moraine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kettle_Moraine) area along the edges of the Green Bay and Lake Michigan lobes from the Wisconsin gladiation. The rest of the state is mostly flat as it was covered with a series of glacial lakes much like Lake Agassiz only smaller. There are hills through the rest of the state but they are either moraines created as the ice age glacier retreated or formations like drumlins  (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drumlin)and eskers  (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esker)formed under the ice. If you like flat, the area from western Marathon County to the Dells is a huge flat area with sandy, glacial till soils perfect for farming.

Max's Complaints About Users in One Thread

This kind of attention-seeking is silly. Calling out other users who disagree with you is toxic to our forum. Discuss the issue within each thread, report it if it belongs in another thread, or just move along and let it all go like adults.

Frankly, it's all getting tiresome and a waste of our time. You can make good threads with content, don't squander your time on petty stuff.

See my thoughts below, Carhorn IMO is more than just a troll.

I'm not defending my own tact regarding Carhorn.  I made my thoughts known that the guy couldn't contain himself forever after the last forum incident and looks like that has come to pass.  In the end I'm not an admin, mod or anyone or anyone with a say on this forum so it really I am of no consequence.  All the same, the fact we left a guy who has admitted to some really questionable acts stick around in the road community at large doesn't sit well with me.  But that's just my opinion and I might suffer the consequences for it. 

Regarding MMM, I wasn't intending to make jokes about him here.  You guys the brought references to him into this thread.
