Beautiful paths to travel!

Just looking at the photos brings back so many memories of beautiful places.

These roads represent such adventures--I'd have a hard time not floating off for joy if I found myself on these roads with you.

(That road in Bolivia. No way I'm riding in a motorized vehicle on that. I'll walk, with my back pressed against the mountainside, thank you very much--and that little diamond sign, innocently suggesting a turn in the road. Gah!) The misty road in Yellowstone--wow. Fairylike. And the red-and-white gates to fields of gold. And the dappled light in Capitol Reef. Such vistas ♥

Thank you.

Fantastic times were had all around, though, at the time, some of them were not joyrides.

And that road, yeah. Did you read my entry about that road? http://mnfaure.livejournal.com/197683.html I went down it on bike and back up again by bus. Scary both ways, but scarier in the bus. Here is another entry about the "history" of the road: http://mnfaure.livejournal.com/198200.html

Ouf. Yes.

I've seen several documentaries on the road, including details of the bike tours. A U.S. TV series documented several U.S. and Canadian truck drivers who volunteered to drive the road multiple times. Did you meet the man who stands on the corners with a flag to warn of oncoming traffic? He volunteered, I believe, after losing a family member. You are the only person I've encountered who had been there. Amazing travel photos (all.)

A pleasure to take you with me, a-wayfaring.
