A Pictorial Look at the Jimi Valley Road

The other day four of us left Kudjip and headed out on the Jimi road.    Unless you have wings, or lots of money for a helicopter, it is the only way to get to the Bromley Memorial District.   The Jimi Valley Road is like a box of Cracker Jacks, there is a surprise in each time you drive it.   We headed in with two Toyota Land Cruisers, the vehicle of choice for this missionary, because they are built tough and can handle the rough Jimi road.   We were headed into the Bromley Memorial District to take care of some district business.    I have to say though, it is kind of fun to drive.    I mean where else can you go off roadin' and not be labeled irresponsible or reckless!
Besides being a road that literally follows the
edge of the mountains around, there are probably
other reasons the road gets washed away, I'm
thinking.
The road should be where the culvert is but it is gone
washed away in a flood.   We had to stay to the right and cut
left across the water and back up on the road.

Hit the water and take a sharp left!
In 3 of these pictures is a "stay left" theme!
