Well, not quite the same thing. I left Saturday. I came close to being in
the bus that crashed. The van was going north to Choro. NGC featured a program several months ago about the most four dangerous roads in the world. I think one was in Bolivia that carried traffic between two important cities. It ran high in the Andes. It was narrow and the road regularly fell away to 2000 to 4000 (maybe more) feet. Another was in Australia. Straight as an arrow for many thousands of miles. People would lose their concentration. The third was in the US east of LA somewhere. It was noted for the ups and downs that caused many people to try to pass unsafely. I think it's being rebuilt now. I don't recall the fourth. C.C. wrote: On Dec 2, 8:23 pm, "W.
