You are a brave lady. Our daughter and her husband, newlyweds at the time they went, flew to Colorado to spend a vacation with our son in Boulder Colorado............he loaned them his car and told them to take the "MILLION DOLLAR HIGHWAY"..........they had no idea what it would be like........
This was end of December.......so you can picture the snow and ice.
Thankfully, her husband drove very slowly.
The video I wanted to send was speeded up but still hair raising.
Two years ago, they went again to visit Mesa Verde National Park, this time bringing their three children with them..........again they took the MILLION DOLLAR HIGHWAY............but only "one way".......returned on a lower road so they wouldn't have to drive the side with no guard rails.
Anyone who has seen DEATH ROAD TRUCKERS knows what it's like.
Maybe not that bad.........but still.
Nothing wrong with the Florida Turnpike.........that was just a come on to the video which I could NOT post the hyperlink to.........it disappeared.
