As one who’s done his share of driving around the country, I am fascinated by these images forwarded to me by my son:
The Strangest and most Beautiful
Roads in the World

Those images remind me of having to reach a dam construction site in Wyoming once by way of logging roads all torn up buy construction traffic. Oh man, were the people I rented that pristine white Cutlass Ceira from surprised when I brought it back! Absolutely beautiful country though. 😀

Absolutely awesome posts. I would love to drive all of them, with the possible exception of the curvey open mountain side pass. That one could make me seriously whoozy.

P.S. one of those roads I think I could only travel on my hands and knees crawling or edging slowly down, crabwise, clinging to the rockface, whimpering 😳

Okay, time for another long mountain drive.
These are spectacular, although I think I’ll pass on the one that has the waves bursting over it.

Did one person take all the images? If so, great eye! The one set into the vertical rockface raises the question, why?

Good question. But they came in an email forwarded to me by my son, who had had them forwarded to him by his wife… You know how it goes. There’s some other cute stuff in the email that I might post later. 😀

I’ve seen more than my fair share of highways – those pictures were simply stunning. Had I seen more roads like that, I’d probably still be out there driving around. 🙂

I’ve always been torn between the urge to see what’s over the next hill or around the next bend, and the fear that there’d just be more people I want to get away from! 😀

Really cool! But some of the roads scared me! haha The strangest was the road carved into the cliff…. wonder how they do that!?

I know what you mean. I keep thinking that, if that’s their idea of a better way to get there, I’d hate to see how they got there before! 😆

I used to resupply some small Air Force outposts, like Monkey Mountain, outside Da Nang in Vietnam, with ammo and such back in ’65 and ’66, and some of the roads I had to drive were both scary and beautiful. I love driving in mountains as well, especially the Rockies.
Awesome post, amigo. The pictures are indeed worth a thousand words.

Thanks my friend. I would love to have seen those roads, without all the war and stuff of course! 😀

Monkey Mountain was usually shrouded in clouds in the morning, and driving through them was unreal. Beautiful and dangerous at the same time. I’ll never forget it.
Came back to base one time and got stopped at the front gate by the guard. He said look out your side window at your door. The was a spear sticking out of it. Bastard kept the spear.
