[Rover] WARNING

[Jim Howard]

Bill et all,
 As a former truck driver you can almost always be assured that anything
that is labeled as a "Parkway" or says "no commercial vehicles allowed" will
more than likely have low bridges.
 This isn't 100% but as a general rule it is something to remember.
 Ah, the price we pay to bring the activity to everyone else as a rover.
