00:37:19,689 --> 00:37:21,172
Narrator: The disintegrating
surface
711
00:37:21,310 --> 00:37:24,000
is under pressure supporting
Art's haul.
712
00:37:26,241 --> 00:37:28,758
- I've crossed some [bleep] ice
crossings in my [bleep] day,
713
00:37:28,896 --> 00:37:31,172
but this one probably takes
the [bleep] cake.

Narrator: And if the truck
breaks through
715
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,379
it's a deadly 100 foot drop.

717
00:37:40,344 --> 00:37:41,758
and full of [bleep] water
718
00:37:41,896 --> 00:37:43,620
and there's ruts in it
and [bleep] holes in it
719
00:37:43,758 --> 00:37:46,137
and everything else, man.
720
00:37:46,275 --> 00:37:48,724
It's probably thawing
as we speak.

- Well, I can't say
I'm not happy
732
00:38:26,758 --> 00:38:29,000

00:39:07,586 --> 00:39:10,551
On a one to ten that road
was terrible.

out here
