Moki Dugway

The scariest road either Mike or I have been on. If you google it and watch the popular video of a truck going down that switchback hard-packed washboard loose-stoned stretch of insanity, know this:

1. I believe they must have closed off the road to all other traffic. (There simply isn't room for a truck and any other vehicle for most of its three miles.)

2. The few feet of guard rails and concrete siding are no longer there. Flash floods have taken care of those niceties.

Mike made quite a nice video of part of our trip down the Dugway, but so far I am unable to post any videos. Later perhaps.

The drop off at the top is said to be 1100 feet pretty much straight down. Below is Google's satellite view of the Dugway.
