Matka JAC:in kyydissä Daliin taittuu hyväkuntoisia moottoriteitä. Maisemat ovat suorastaan aika tylsää ylätasankomaisemaa. Valtatie kulkee vuorten läpi. Pisin tunneli on vajaa neljä kilometriä pitkä.

Growing up on the farm, it was a warm cow barn, new calves, molasses on the feed, and sneaking a little bit for myself from the barrel.
