<VV> speeding in Oregon

[Paleofish]

When I was living near John Day, Or.  it was so far from anyone that the 
cops would tell you that they won't pull people over untill they were 
doing over 70.  all the roads in that neck of the woods were 55.  Highway 
19 (which I lived off of) was a typical road up there.  there were 
streatched where you could easily drive 70 and then you would come up to 
curves when the suggest speed was 20 and what they really ment was 15 or 
you flip your car in to the river.  I never did it but saw many cars in 
the river.

I think the cops were so lienent in the area because we were so far from 
any where.  When I say I lived near John Day I was still 50 miles from it. 
120 from Bend.
