Road Leading to the Top of the Mountain (H56)

This road washed out during the rainy season, snow clogged it during the winter and became almost impassable the rest of the winter. Fastest time recorded from Site to main road at the bottom of the mountain was 45 minutes in a jeep with a very reckless Korean driver. He wanted to see if the Site Chief passenger would chicken out. He caught hell when we got to the flat lands and became a model safe driver after we survived that trip.
