The Road less traveled
Challenge series hosted by
tsk1979.
Challenges start on Thursdays.
Wanderlust, but not for the beaten path, but for the unbeaten path. The roads nobody takes, the trails which are two tough for ordinary cars, the treks which only the very brave or very foolish dare!

Self explanatory. Winter is coming, and with winter comes snow, and those lovely ice roads.
Just one rule. The road surface should NOT be visible. A spec here and there is fine(see example images).

Well that is the theme.

All the rules get tiring, right? So this is an open challenge, which signifies being "Lost".
There will be no sample entries, because its upto the posters interpretation.
So post a picture, which you thing conveys "Being Lost".
It could be you in the woods all alone, or a road which is a dead end. Entirely open to interpretation.

Drove on a Dirt trail? We are not interested.
Parked on a dune? We are not interested.
What we want is action shots of your SUV/ATV/Dirt bike, conquering an obstacle. Not a silly dirt track.
But a proper obstacle, like climbing a dune, crossing a river, doing rock crawling.
It has to be an action shot, not a shot of your vehicle after parking.
