You ran Sherwood Road if you went from Stevenson to Sewanee. That's a tough little road all by itself. In the late '70s early '80s, I had an opportunity to work in a little punch mine just west of Stevenson one summer in college, and a place to stay on campus up on the mountain. I skipped it partially because the mine was ventilated with a kitchen fan, and partially because I didn't want to have to run that mountain in a '74 F250 twice a day for 3 months. I'm not sure which would have been more dangerous..
BTW, I got gas at that Texaco in Sewanee one time, and they had an MG up on the lift, and a timber skidder torn completely down right behind it. In a town that size, they worked on ANYTHING.
