I think I might be lost?

After Freemont I decided, sure I can drive to Sun Valley by myself with the boys and make it to the Poulson family reunion. I typed in Sun Valley on my GPS and away I went.
It told me to take a left in 1 mile.  I thought to myself, strange this doesn't seem like a highway? Oh well, that's what the GPS says so I'll keep going.
I should have known something was wrong when I turned onto this:


And it started looking like this:


And when the boys started to ask me: "why's it so bumpy/"
"Are we lost?"
"Are we going to die?"

I should have turned around. But the GPS kept saying it was a straight shot and only ten miles away from my destination. It couldn't get much worse right?

WRONG!

My camera couldn't get the whole picture. This was looking oposite what I was driving on. There was probably a 2000 foot drop off right in front of me.
I was so scared, but didn't want to alarm the boys so I told them, "No, we aren't lost. It's and adventure!" but inside I was praying please don't let us die, or get a flat or have to turn around because I can't do this right now...

We finally made it safe and sound to the bottom of this summit, and it really did take me directly onto Sun Valley Road, but I would not suggest this route to anyone, even though it was scenic.
