that will make you think twice while your *****in about them raising taxes for road work glad we live in the us
The Apache Trail in AZ is real similar, mostly dirt, very few weak wooden gaurdrails, loose gravel & washboarded. One time I was on it I turned a corner and met a full size tour bus at a tight corner, I was on the inside, he was on the outside when he turned I could see the outiside dually wheel go off the edge of the apex of the corner....I woulda kissed my *** goodbye right there if I was in that bus. I always wondered if any of the old folks on the bus stroked out right then. . .
That ain't ****... I once drove from Flagstaff to Sedona Arizona in the back of a lincoln town car (which was a taxi) piloted by an incredibly stoned driver. started off well enough-scenic northern Arizona,then... DOWNHILLSWITCHBACKSWITCHBACKSWITCHBACK "daaamndude! these brakes ****!"SWITCHBACK DAMNTHAT 18WHEELER WAS CLOSESWITCHBACKSWITCHBACK "If I live through this, I'ma gonna stomp me a hippie."switchbackback uphill?DOWNHILL!!!!SWITCHBACK and then there we were in the middle of Sedona Arizona. Threw Jerry Garcia a 20 and slapped him in the back of the head, and tracked down my little brother,who is also a "flatlander" Him-What did you think of the drive?" Me-"**** you Ezra." Him-Hysterical laughter, even though we were on the way to see my mom in the hospital. Suffice to say, I made him drive me to the airport when it was all said and done. I would not reccomend driving from Flagstaff to Sedona if you have even thoughts of bad brakes.
Thanks for that opening pic Mike... my ***hole is puckered so tight from it I won't be able to **** for a month! haha
Lux Blue, was that road Snebly Hill Road? My wife and I drove that dirt rock encrusted road many years ago and let me tell you, it was white knuckles all the way from Sedona to the top of the ******** mountain. The scenery was spectacular but, I'm here to tell you my sphincter muscle pretty near expired that day. And, to cap off our drive, once we got to the top and started to head toward a normal paved road we encountered a sign that said that the upcoming road was private and tresp***ing was forbidden. Well, there was no way that anyone could force me to go back down the goat path so we forged ahead. We had no problems but, I often think about Snebly Hill and the "fun" we had that day. Thanks, I think, for bringing back old memories!
Poke around that site and you find some cool stuff. I think this is the crank to match that Isky 505 flathead cam that turned up recently.
A lot of the mountain "roads" in Taiwan look like that... with trucks & buses barely sneaking past each other.
My sister and her husband recently went to Nepal for honeymoon. On the way down from Mount Everest base camp, the Jeep rolled off the road in a snow storm, rolled over twice, falled about 10 feet down. Luckily the accident happened there and not 10 miles earlier, the fall would´ve been bottomless...
I've driven the road to Hana in Hawaii and believe me the Apache Trail is worse. Scared the hell of of me (wife driving).
You want bad roads? You should try driving over here, in Afghanistan. It's a wonderful smorgasborg of broken pavement, worn tracks across open wastelands, high mountain p***es through rock walls so close you'll lose your mirrors, barely sidewalk width cliffside roads with no guard rails, and more mud holes and bomb craters than you can imagine. Oh, did I mention the estimated 11 million land mines ramndomly laying around the country? I will never complain about a road as long as I live, after this place!!
