The road from Muang Khua in Laos to the Vietnam border was a rough one. Unpaved and mountainous. I was really considering taking a bus as I’d heard about the bad conditions on this route — I was scared. But I did it because I’m a Rough Rider. I’m Road Bone.

Let’s not build a bridge. A boat ferry will be okay.

What’s your anti-drug in Laos?

On the highway, I had to take off my shoes to wade through the water.

Dirt highway with rock sprinkles.

Another river running through the highway. It’s cool that they thought of building a bridge.

I came from down there. It’s good to be on top.
