    I agree with the tub’s caption, but in a sarcastic tone: looks like fun.

    Snake Alley would make a nice chicane in a Formula One race.

    Anyone can drink boiling water; it’s the surviving it that is the catch.

    “The majority of lakes where flamingos live have extremely high salt concentrations. The only source of fresh water for some of these birds comes from boiling geysers. Flamingos are capable of drinking water at temperatures that approach the boiling point. Flamingos excrete salt through salt glands in the nostrils.” — SeaWorld.org

    Drive the Road to Hana on the Island of Maui if you want curves and one lane bridges. Nerve wracking and I survived it!

    I drove that road three times. I noticed the road never got very far from the coast so it couldn’t be that steep; possibly a good road to bicycle. But the topology is such that when you crossed a stream (there are 59 bridges!) you had to climb a steep headland, but then you could coast down to the next stream. The big problem being, when you got to the stream it always had hair pin turn. So you’ld jam on the brakes and lose the momentum that would help you up the headland to the next stream.

    here’s an update to the Hana road info. I found a cool feature on google maps. Once you have a route displayed, click on the bicycle icon. It will calculate all the ups and downs and display the total elevation change, up and down. For instance the Hana hwy from Kahului to hana is 29 miles, at the highest elevation it’s 761 ft. with a total elevation change of 2,018 ft. up and 2,001 ft. down.
