Default The Dragon Has a Cousin

This is a picture of what is called the most dangerous road in the world.

They do not have the luxury of such things as guardrails or medical attention close by.

That's the one.

Maybe we could try a dragon event there?


I have to give those engineers credit for cutting that road thru the mountain. That took some "nads"

that's incredibly insane!! amazing to see opposing traffic on it.

I would like to see how the 2 trucks are going to pass each other on LINESUPER's first picture there.

Kid, the next time I say, "Let's go someplace like Bolivia," let's GO someplace like Bolivia.

A beer on me for the first person to post the name of the movie the line above is quoted from

that movie has some great lines...

Butch Cassidy: You know, it could be worse. You get a lot more for your money in Bolivia, I checked on it.
Sundance Kid: What could they have here that you could possibly want to buy?

Butch Cassidy: Jeesh, all Bolivia can't look like this.
Sundance Kid: How do you know? This might be the garden spot of the whole country. People may travel hundreds of miles just to get to this spot where we're standing now. This might be the Atlantic City, New Jersey of all Bolivia for all you know.

<how's this for trying to stay on topic?>
