There are two stop signs both ways. I find myself more likely to get caught behind slow traffic on Grouse and at the stop signs where 946/987 meet. Although, going Grouse, you had 2 extra passing zones, plus a running start for the passing zone west of Hokendaqua. We did race one time, and I had you by about a mile (I was pulling out onto 946, you were still at Moore Elementary, but you had some traffic). It's a near wash I feel. Hokendaqua is much smoother and fun than Grouse.

Hokendaqua is much smoother and fun than Grouse. Hokendaqua has the stop sign at Valley View, and once you get past the 946/987 intersection, you can really put the hammer down on 946. On weekdays, avoiding the school zone on 946 would have me taking Hokendaqua. Edited February 20, 2012 by RootDKJ 1
