Heartbreak Hill
October 1980 shot of Forest Road 166 (Six Hundred Road) as it goes over Heartbreak Hill in the Superior National Forest.
The US Forest Service says that the hill got its name during the days when the horses pulling the rigs hauling logs out of the forest couldn't make it up the grade in the winter.
My brother Dave, his friend Sean and I found out the hard way that a Ford Econoline Van doesn't make it up the hill in glare ice either. It also doesn't like to stay on the road when you're trying to back it down.
