A backhoe in action on the Villa Verde Trail, New Pangasinan-Nueva Viscaya Road.
This is the point where I turned around; it was about 14 km from the Salacsac Pass #2 near Malico. I estimate it was about 2 more km and we would intersect the road coming up the long ridge from San Nicolas. The road is traced already all the way but I just got past a bull dozer and now I would have to get by that back hoe. I decided to turn around, return 12 km (where I parked my car) and struggle with 500 meter elevation.
