Just when you thought the traffic couldn’t get any calmer, the Germans put us in a coma.
If you are used to long, tortuous, bumper-to-bumper traffic jams and insanely aggressive motorists who threaten your life at every turn, wait until you drive around Prescott. It’s calm, sane, and beautiful.
And just when you thought it couldn’t get any more peaceful, the Germans engineer something just a little bit crazy.
