    That's what I thought when I saw it! I remember it being a goat track but those vehicles look a bit modern for it to be true!
    Yes, I am pedantic about spelling and grammar so get used to it!

    It looks like some of the roads that I grew up riding/driving on. When there was slips the cars piled up for hours/days. What the buses use to do was the bus would go to one side of the slip and people walk across the slip and another bus would pick them up there.
    Life is difficult because it is non-linear.
