The roads are dangerous to navigate swirling around to get off the mountain but beautiful. Occasionally you meet a car approaching you which is always "fun." Seeing those roads cut through rock makes one think of all the work by individuals that it took to put those roads in those stone mountains.<br />RonRonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11161930319264523497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8660581276521005822.post-82000148468850057802016-10-15T20:28:57.550-05:002016-10-15T20:28:57.550-05:00I'd appreciate that.
