I was more concerned about the trucks and their drivers than the other tourists who really seemed more concerned about the road safety.... Keep Left MON!

Then you just have to chuckle because you can see it happening. You know, it’s really not funny until you see the two Jeeps, nose to nose.

They can't make the turn if they don't take up the whole road, and there is no way they can stop either, so be very very careful. And, if there is a truck ahead of you going up a steep hill, wait at the bottom off the road a bit in case they lose their brakes or power, and come back down the hill - that's happened a few times. Could we hear from one of the drivers on their perspective? I used to think I had pretty much seen it all as far as driving goes. St. John has changed that perspective.
