Frank: Yes, when they were building it - dynamiting the rock, building the roadbed, grading, paving, etc. They use to make us hide behind the bulldozers and scrapers when they set off the charges. I spent most of my time on the section that ran from Pottersville north. We worked 12 - 14 hour days, six days a week, but at union wages, so I saved enough money to pay for most of my college expenses. Tuition in those days was a whopping $125 per term. 
Good looking RV. Furnace, stove, oven, fridge, toilet, shower, hot water? That's nicer than my house! I hope you have a great time "camping". I know it will be comfortable. Years ago, I use to backpack, but now my idea of "roughing it" is to forego the breakfast buffet at Bellagio.

I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.
