I built these roads by hauling rock off of abandoned railroad tracks on the outer border of property lines... one loader bucket at a time, about a 500 yds in length. Where the big truck rolled it must be 18-24" deep.
This one is on a friend's farm. The chapel is 200+ years old.
These last two should be recognizable by the surrounding peaks. Pictures are circa 1926.

Here's one from a little before my younger daze, of ore wagons going up Trail Creek Summit, east of Ketchum, Idaho.
The road hasn't changed a hell of a lot in the last 130 years, but people ain't nearly as tough these days.
The ore wagons in the photo are still functional and are the centerpiece of Ketchum's annual celebration of horse-manure, named Wagon Days.

Delhi, I don't know if it's Jebel Shams in the background. This is along a drive through the Eastern Hajar range in Oman - a day after climbing the French Pillar (were too tired to look around for additional climbing objectives just then :) )
The French Pillar looks pretty sweet. Hope you had fun. And yeah I've explored a lot of that area.

Of course there is the dirt road south from the capital city of Mustang Nepal, that ends in a wash-out.
In late October 2008, the locals were enthusiastic about using it to move south for the coming winter.
It's OK, the Chinese are improving it as a tourist highway from Tibet.
