Going through a Flooded Dirt Road with Motorbike

Flooded dirt road looks like small river on road to Bada Valley - Sulawesi Island, Indonesia

I went to Bada valley to see the mysterious megaliths. Bada valley is very remote, and the trip involves taking a small mountain road from Poso lake. I started the trip on motorbike, with a couple of other tourists. The road became so steep that the tourists on automatic scooters had to turn back, as the road that too steep for their scooters! My semi-auto motorbike had no problem (that's the type of bike locals use). There were numerous fallen trees on the road, from storms a few days before.

At some point there was a major landslide that blocked the whole road. Locals managed to clear it up with just hand shovels.

A bit further, there was a big mud slide area, and then road was flooded and looked like a small river!
