MistakenID Ifeel your pain. We’ve been driving down two or three times a week for my husband’s physical therapy, and I cannot believe the idiots that think they are entitled to go as slow as they want and pass up every turn off there is. It drives me nuts and I know it raises my blood pressure! We came up yesterday morning about 10 following five Big buses and they didn’t pull off till almost the upper passing. How rude! I am going to report them. I just forgot about it until now! Have a nice night.

Good evening just drove the 330. When did passing on the left and being blocked by slower traffic become the norm. Did I miss something?
Bad day and tired of flatlanders, zodiak participants driving the mountain this past week. Thank you for listening, reading etc. Hope your weekend goes well.

FULL-SCREEN AD ISSUES ON SCM (Mobile Phones)

Thanks to HIB for pointing out the ongoing problem with ads taking over the entire screen on iPhone and Android browsers. I know this has been frustrating, and I'm still working on it.

In the meantime, Rad Cabin reminded me that several users have fixed it by turning on "Desktop Mode" in their phone's browser (Chrome on Android, Safari on iPhone). I posted a quick how-to earlier this year, and I'm sharing it again for anyone who hasn't tried it yet. It only takes a few seconds:

If you've tried it and you're still having trouble, let me know. Your feedback helps me track down the problem.
