Once you leave Tombstones
the trees are gone except for a small patch here and there in the valleys. Low brush and tundra
growth. The feeling of space is immense, the road follows the ridges in
most places, so you always have a view in any direction. You get the feeling
you can see next week coming.
What is most impressive
about this road is the solitude. You may not see another car or truck for
hours. Just the silence
with maybe the sound of the breeze and the odd bird cry.
