On this occassion Captain Obvious would be wrong!

I believe theres a Trans-Siberian Railroad. Is there also a Trans-Siberian Highway, and could this be what you're after?

No sorry, the name has something to do with the death of the workers that made the road. It starts (or ends) at Magadan .

That makes it more interesting to go there now, like the "Long Way Round" guys, Charley Boorman and that Starwars bloke from Scotland, Ewan something or rather!!!!! obi kon obi?

My mother-in-law grew up in Magadan and my brother-in-law was born there, but I don't know the name of the road.

Is it not just called the Road of Bones?

Here's another Mask of Sorrow. By Auguste Rodin.
