HOLY COW!! And I thought we had some nasty roads here in the U.S.!! Although my wife and I did travel one in western Oregon awhile back where there were junk trucks at the bottom of a ravine where the trucks didn’t make the curves up the side of the mountain…

Very interesting article. Thanks.
There are many similar roads in the world, e.g., El Caminito del Rey in Malaga, Spain or Siberian road through Yakutsk or some roads in Nepal. They are definitely very exciting.

Thanks for visiting THE CAVEMAN NETWORK. This feature you got on dangerous roads is awesome. I’ve heard of Yungas Road. Driving a truck or bus on that highway is just asking for it.
Did you travel these roads?

Hey Chucky,
Thanks for the link to this site. Wow what pics. I saw something about this on Discovery channel.
I tried to sign up for Trifter but it seems screwed up. Is there a secret to getting on as a content writer?
