Check out number 10. My wife did it on her motorcycle!
I have been on some pretty exciting roads right here in the good old
USA.
The road up to Mt Washington is pretty hairy on a foggy day and
Iron
Mountain Road in SD near Mt Rushmore is exciting but the logging
roads
up in the mountains of virtually any western state have to rank
pretty
high, not only because of sheer cliffs and no guard rails but by the
possibility of coming up on a logging truck coming the other way.
We had fun on the back road from Big Sur into the Liggett Army Base
in
California last week.
The Naciemento Ferguson road as I recall. Rode it many times back
when I was stationed at Hungy Maggot Lifer Reservation (official name
Hunter Liggett Military Reservation)
The road up Carmel Valley that comes out near Greenfield used to be
pretty cool as well.

Yup that's the one

and my obligatory picture with cannon (on a tank this time)

Another thing that makes the Naciemento Ferguson road a little more
dangerous than some.

About 20 years ago, a nice new pickup went off the road. Still there
probably. Not much damage, but cost more to retrieve it than the truck
cost. I used to hunt pigs at Hunter Liggett. Because when Heast sold the
property to the government for a pittance, he put it in the deed
restrictions that the public was allowed hunting access on weekends and
holidays. Had been his hunting camp. The headquarters is a Moorish Castle
that Hearst built for his hunting camp. Very steep drop offs on the road to
the coast. When you hunt there they give you instructions to avoid any
munitions and to mark with a white paper of cloth in the area and tell the
MP's the area where you found the stuff.
