I agree about walking the road. I almost got hit one night after a bit too much to drink but my loving wife pushed me into the weeds and saved my sorry butt. Someone slammed me on the TA board for saying it was dangerous but she was well seasoned and knows how and where to step aside. Once you get past the lighthouse, it's not too bad. It's really worth the $5 US to get around. (I tip big as well)
