Is it true?
I've heard that Todd C will go almost anywhere to get a good photo.....

Good grief!

To think the Million Dollar Highway has some precipitous drops!

No, no, NO! I might get around, but I am NOT one of those fearless or foolhardy off-road types. I suspect if you could get a better look at that license plate, it would be from Texas. That's nuts!

I bet the passenger side of that car is well and truly scratched and scraped down to bare metal.

Sometimes we find ourselves in one heckuva predicament. Thanks Jack.

That doesn't look possible! Maybe some photoshop magic? He certainly isn't going much further forwards! I wonder who took the photo and if the photographer was the passenger, if so he sure didn't get out of the vehicle on the driver's side.

I can guarantee that I would never be in this image or capturing it! Nothing on earth would be important enough to photography. Oh wait, this is not on earth is it?

Well, at least he has what looks like a winch up front. It's good to be prepared! :biggrin:

My first reaction, also, is this has been photoshopped.
Can anyone be THAT stupid! :eek:

Sometimes you don't need a narrow road to get into trouble, just a narrow intellect. Here's a trip down memory lane, from fall '08.

Is this the same guy that was walking on that trail in Don's video. No fear! Heck, no intelligence or common sense.

That would make it tough to pass if someone was coming down from the other direction :biggrin:

Rumor has it that Jody G took the photograph! :biggrin:
Posted by Todd Caudle on March 7, 2010 at 6:43 PM
Wasn't Jody. There's a "road" involved.
Posted by Kurt Budde on March 9, 2010 at 1:58 PM
It's possible. I've been on roads quite like that in my Jeep. Sometimes you're without sufficient beta and it just goes.. with no turnaround. Other times you know exactly what you're getting in to :cool:

My bet is that is a very short section, the crux, if you will (to borrow from climbing).

Hey Kurt...remind me to NEVER ask you if I can tag along!!!!!
