My GPS lead me astray while I was going over the range and somehow I ended up on Donna Buang Rd. This was interesting as it was a gravel road, very narrow, wet, on a steep slope, was very winding and visibility was extremely poor as it was dark and foggy. I was hoping that I didn&#8217;t meet another vehicle coming the other way.
