Glad to hear you are back “On The Road Again”. Just a note to let you know that the IBA got 2 plugs from Ben Baily on the TV show Cash Cab that takes place in a cab in New York City. The constants got the answer to the question wrong but the driver Ben Baily said he was an honorary member of the IBA. Keep on Keepen on, safely.

Cerro de la Muerte translates as “Hill of Death”?

It also translates to “number 4 in the worlds most dangerous roads” (after a bit of research). This trip is proving most educational for us armchair riders!

Shall await your safe passage via spotwalla. It looks like a blast- although on google maps it looks more like a surgeons guide to the lower intestines.

Good luck.

Well I can see you didn’t heed my advice to go through Jaco instead of taking the Pan Am over the pass. Great views if you are not in the clouds, but after taking both routes, twice, please take the low road on the return. Trust me, you will thank me later. Love those pot holes, or bomb craters as some call them. They go especially well with all the truck traffic over the pass. Glad to see your back on the road.

Their idea of gravel is 12″ rocks. Good luck with that.

LL, while enjoying the posts about the adventure it hit me that there might be an additional benefit to be realized from these repeated exercises in patience that you are having to deal with…it should make dealing with all the irritating little issues that will undoubtably arise during that big event in June seem like a piece of cake, so it will naturally become much less stressful for you. This pleases you, no?

Joe Cool, keep up the photo work during the negotiations!

“Lisa: This does not please me.” I laughed so hard it took time before I could continue reading. An image of the proverbial ‘Wet Hen’ came to mind.
Thank you. Big Hugs…ô¿~)

Dean and Lisa,
Cal tuned me into your incredible venture and I totally enjoy reading each day’s adventures. I smile and laugh out loud a lot. Brings back so many memories when I was in Peace Corps in Nicaragua and Cal came in to rescue me. We had wanted to go South but the border was closed as a civil war was active … Somoza vs Sandanistas, so we headed back up North. Anyway, your insights, banter, and courage are a priceless read. Thank You for letting me vicariously travel with you …. a real “gift.”

Excellent read and yes the suspense is killing me! Wishing you safe travels out of Costa Rica.

PS: If Lisa can’t get it done, no one can!
