Rodger Pettichord Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Yowsa! Methinks these are best viewed on video rather than in person. Interesting find, Adam. And think of the poor crews building these killers. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Abernathy Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 I was actually shocked to realize I've driven on more dangerous roads within 30 minutes of my home. (In the mountains, not the streets which are more dangerous than the steep, rocky roads...lol) 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Q Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Back in 2012 I took the steam locomotive fireman's course on the Cumbres & Toltek RR. Day three we ran a freight train from Chama, NM to Antonito, CO. The trip by rail (64 miles) was lovely. Leaving the train overnight at Antonito, we took the motor coach back to Chama. Scariest trip in any vehicle I've ever taken. Don't know how the bus could stay on the road! Next morning got on the bus again to go back to Antonito to bring the train back. Another scary bus ride. The train trip was great, taking turns with the other students firing the engine. Between shifts we rode in the caboose. Rob is right. There are some mighty scary roads close to home! (Another one is the road around Storm King Mountain near West Point M.A.). Ken 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W2DR Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 I sent this over to our "travel buddies". They're afraid to even drive the Amalfi Coast. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wain71 Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 Gibraltar was a pain, cars just stopping everywhere and no space.... scariest for me was journey in a local bus from Nairobi to Nanyuki...mad drivers, dead cows, vehicles going the wrong way up dual carriageways... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
