he heh....you may guess easilly...by that time we lived behid the IRON CURTAIN....so all my trails were INSIDE USSR.... Ukraine, Moldova, Russia, Georgia, Armenia, Dagestan, Belarus, Azerbaijan, and sure lots in Latvia, Estonia ( not to count domestic Lithuanian roads)
Not even smallest chance to break out , behind the curtain...unless you want to hijack an airplane. We all lived here like in a prison.... may be hard to understand for people in their 30-ies or younger.
