Not sure... I only drive on the light side of tantalus.
Too many potholes and bumpy roads on the other side to risk getting it bent.

TANTALUS IS STILL CLOSED.... i took the long way around to the look out tonight, and the road is still closed on the light side of tantalus

was kinda fun though, took off the ASC, and it was raining the whole drive

gotta love the little "drifting" around the corners

not all the way around you didnt.. the HUGE wall is up

EDIT: you can still drive up to the lookout, taking the long way, off Queen Emma, but just after the lookout, on the other side, the road is completely blocked off

they sure hate speeders up there. I always worry about bicyclists and joggers. at least there's no deer.

I really hate the cyclists... especially the ones that ride in the middle of the road instead of the side or the ones that ride in the large packs that makes it difficult to pass them.
Then there are so many plants too that obstruct your view so you can't really see and creates so many blind turns.
On several occassions, the kid ricers try to drift a corner and almost hit my car.
And then there are a bunch of people that I see that aren't really speeding, but they keep going onto the other lane when taking the corners.

Then I hope he's not one of those guys that does those things that I mentioned above.

probably take for ever to fix like the road between PH and that other island where the memorial is off of.
