    guess where Im not going anytime soon.
    It doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to be done in two weeks...

    Forget the Pike's Peak ... you think we could convince Ken to take us for a ride in his SS (when it is done) up that road Doug?

    Yeah, I saw it was on the Discovery channel. My buddy was also telling me about it. One tidbit I recall from the show was: Many traverse that road for years, some in the dead of night ... only to lose their lives in on the way down the next morning.

    Actually, you have to do a search under the term "Camino de la Muerte" aka: Death Road in english. The Bolivian road has the "honor" (or Horror) of being labelled as The World's Deadliest Road.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yungas_Road

    Seems like those images are of both roads. The first set of the tunnel road is in China, but the last set with actual vehicles on it is in Bolivia.

    Looks like there's a combo of pics where I got this... Dooh!
    Still scary.

    I have to ask: Boxers or Briefs if you were on this road?









    Depends...

    Yeah, if you go over the edge on two wheels or four it doesn't really matter. You just get a bigger & better view on the way down with two wheels.
