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.

Tom

thats a good road, compared to the roads i drive to mining camps in mexico.

i just got used to it.

the first month i was driving roads like the ones in the picture.
i thought i was going puke from fear.

now i can sleep for hours sitting shotgun in pickup truck in the middle of a monsoon rain storm.

never knowing if the road was going to collapse under the weight of the truck.

on roads that look exactly like the ones here.

ya simply learn to trust the process.
ya get VERY ZEN after a while. i learned i had to allow a huge paradigm shift to survive the interior of mexico.

it's a crazy place to travel. especially when you don't if and when you are coming back.

i love mexico. pure and simple.
