    That section of the road slid into the river a few years back so if you wait long time deciding you will be floating the Colorado river with out a paddle

    That looks exactly like 89A leaving Jerome, Az. north to Sedona (except 89A is paved) which I came thru 3 days ago in my 4 wheeler. Just outside of town on the shoulder was a empty FB on a very small shoulder. Now Jerome can hardly handle 4 wheelers very narrow streets. Not sure if a truck/trailer can get thru there. I doubt it. I did see a big plant at the bottom which I'm thinking this truck was trying to get to and made a wrong turn.

    I saw that guy at the scenic view when I came through! (I almost always run through Jerome at the end of my route, but I'm running a daycab and a pup, so I'm legal.) I was wondering what was up with that guy, 'cause I'm pretty sure he was close to, if not over, the 50' limit for that road.
