b4trans: Well, there's always the off-road option, isn't there? ^_^;

Today's survey is more travel traumas than troubles:

When are you troubled?
• Conflicting with opposing traffic on a one-lane road
• Having to attach chains because of snow
• Being unable to see ahead due to fog
• Facing a dead end on a narrow road
• When a woman raises her hand to you on a dark night in the mountains

I drove along a road something like this last summer in Japan: barely one car wide, twisting mountain road with gravel coating and ditches all over, mountain on one side, chasm on the other. The scenery was breath-taking, though, and it was right next door to Gensoukyou, figuratively speaking.

I believe it's a shortcut!

One day when my parents decided to drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway, it started raining, and I think we were basically inside a raincloud. We did not see any scenery.

Terrible luck, most of the parkway really is very scenic.
