Your photos are awesome, so cool! That Yaris has been MORE places then most people in this country have been.

The road must have been all dirt then and much scarier to drive. They were in the process of finishing the paving when I was there. Its much easier to control the car on pavement than dirt!

Yes the Yaris has been to Alaska (10,400 miles) and around the west (8,000 miles) and it just turned only 37,000 miles!
