Hey Guys,

Here's a 914 road to stay away from. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

It's in Bolivia and called the Stremnaya Road of Death. Interesting place.

BTW, there was an hour long show about this highway on the History Channel (or maybe the Travel Channel) last week. The host was noticably nervous during much of the trip. As the programmers on the Discovery network are known to milk every last cent out of their investment, you'll be able to catch it many times over the next few days, weeks, months, and even years. It's an old road, built over decades, and at great expense, especially for a country that has no money. Life is tougher in some places, guys, and any road is better than no road at all .......
