    Incredible !

    From looking at the model of truck, the type of trees below the drop off and the writing on the front of the truck ---- my guess is that it is in the Italian Alps.

    For that dude's sake, let's hope that cliff doesn't start eroding any time soon.

    "L. Marschnig" is Italian? :biggrin_2559: Nah, just another day at the office in Turnau, Austria. Check out the translated link above. Hey, it might be ol' Leopold himself at the wheel.

    Real pretty country:

    OH Austria! Thats not flat country either! I've been known to make some really tight turns in areas I was directed to go into but that with a combo would have dented up some fairings or sleeper corners! That is one great job of backing!
