Turns out, it was someone's driveway.

We parked 6 cars in 6 seconds in this guy's driveway.

I lucked out as I was 7th in line. I saw what was happening as I came over the crest and saw out of the corner of my eye that the road fell away and to the right. I was able to dodge down the road and avoid packing more cars in.
I think I know the section you are talking about--were you guys coming from the north or south? If I didn't have a GPS, I would have made the same mistake. Going north, there was one section where a friend of ours behind us in a 350Z caught air going over a bump that was immediately followed by a steep downhill. Scary part is that we were right around the speed limit (which is 55).
