You are about to see the most amazing road
Very, very, VERY High Way!

In Bolivia , South America

Stremnaya Road is nicknamed 'The Road of Death'
And you will take no convincing as to how appropriate that is..

Buckle Up...

Seen Enough??
Oh No.. Your Trip Isn't Over Yet!
Check to see your seat belt's fastened one more time..

Sorry.. We Just Lost The Curb This Morning

Thanks For Coming. You Made It This Time !

After That Ride,
Tell Me Honestly..

Are You Going To Complain About Traffic Congested
Super Highways Ever Again?

It reminds me of a few of the hairpin turns on Highway 1 between Carmel and Big Sur, too! (I've made that trip twice in 14 years. No desire to do it again.)
Thanks Dan, these shots are AMAZING!

Oh my goodness! I have driven on some roads that I still wonder to this day how I did it.
Your photo essay is wonderful.
I couldn't believe it when I saw trucks trying to pass each other.

What a wonderful photo essay! What a scary road! Not for me, thanks anyway... LOL
Otherwise, it was pretty country! :)

I'm an adventuous type of traveler but I wil NEVER go on that road. It gives me chills looking at it. Eeew!
(But it looks gorgeous :-) )

I think I would want to be on the inside lane.

Hey, Cowboy Dan! In the evening, I've driven the roller coaster ride of Georgia's 'Spaghetti Junction' but 'Stremnaya Road' would be a tichy bit more of a challenge, methinks!*:-)
