    The one and a half lane dirt road that goes from McCall to Yellowpine Idaho. In 1970, I rode with a drunk Indian in a pick up truck up to Yellowpine What made the road even worse was 1.) it was private 2.) the logging trucks ALWAYS had the right of way. AND they went fast. If you were going north (toward yellowpine) the logging trucks coming down the mountain were loaded and there was NO PLACE to pull off, a turn to the right was certain death 25o feet down in the valley below.

    You'll have to convince me that there is ANYWHERE a road worse than that one.

    In this case, it was a matter of what I was driving. Going down Cabbage Hill Pass, on I-84 in Oregon, in a Big Truck is probably one of the most dangerous hills, on an interstate, in the US. To convince you, the driver, of that fact is five or six warnings before you reach the grade.

    Also nicknamed "Deadman's Pass", for those that ignored the signs.

    Nothing like those South American roads but we had a bit of a scare going up and DOWN the Cerro Gordo road (Yellow Grade Road) in California. It is all dirt and very very steep. Let's just say that we had to stop part way down to cool our brakes several times. Going up it's about 5,000 ft climb in 7 miles. And then there is also the only 4wd Swansea road to the same place, only it has 360° views on the way up. VERY scenic. Great trip to a fascinating old ghost town and old mines. They are the mines that 'built Los Angeles'. you might say.

    There's nothing even close to that one in Bolivia.

    Have you tried driving in the streets of Manila? Bangkok?
    That comes at a far second...
