    I'd give it a try. I've been on some nasty roads but not quite like that. Looks easier than fighting Baltimore at it's worst!

    Or moved logging equipment. My first time scared the crap out of me when I am just about pushing dirt with the bumper and see the trailer tires going over the side. Put it to the floor and pray

    Where's the challenge in that? Interstates bore the hell out of me, and I avoid them whenever possible...much rather be on a narrow little hilly curvy fun road. Deep ditches and no shoulders are an extra bonus to keep you on your toes. If the job isn't fun or present SOME kind of challenge...mental stimulation...then there really isn't any amount of money that will make me want to do it every day.

    Anyone can climb a mountain.

    It's going down that needs to be done right. This one is on track well enough. I would not recommend using that road in rains. The roadway is built of fill material that will need constant work to keep from failing under the weight of the trucks.
     
    Lepton1 Thanks this.

    That's actually a happy place for me running hills that steep. If there is any time for a heart attack it will be at home eating bad food until it quits working.

    I have heard of and seen a few videos or shows about these roads, I'll be smart and stay right here in the USA. Some of those death roads require a man on the drop side to be sure that you're still got a inch or so to the safe side at times.

    Considering that translates to 'The Path of Death', I'm not surprised....
