11	US-64/74 has much truck traffic which MUST cross the double yellow line to avoid rock outcroppings which their trailers will hit when they are westbound. Use extreme CAUTION around all corners and be ready for trucks to crowd your lane. When possible give the truckers the FULL corner to make their way, they will appreciate it!
