    The road is amazing - do it once or twice - then move on to equally amazing roads in the area.

        What were the other four?
        Believe in truth. To abandon fact is to abandon freedom.

          Highway 50 and Highway1 are two of the others. I found the list at Forbes Traveler. Two others were in Hawaii and Alaska. In most cases what they deemed scary was lack of services on long stretches.

          Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.
