When checking road conditions for the trip up, I found an overwhelming amount of notices due to road construction. It’s amazing to think of how much money goes into building and repairing these byways through the most remote areas. We grew accustomed to the pylon-marked one-ways -the scariest of which was on our last day, where a gravel ramp that had recently been washed out in a mud slide. Dividing my attention between driving and noticing the amazing size of ramp (with sheer drops off each shoulder), I was a little late in noticing that our tires were slipping. After brief panic, and a sure recovery of the vehicle, I looked forward to our next bathroom break.
