The ribbon of the road, March 10, 1943. Mount Kenya-This road and runway traverses the rugged wilderness on the slopes of Kenya's mountains like a slender ribbon. It was built to allow a Royal Air Force plane that was forced to land on the mountain to return to its base. After four weeks of solid work, 150 locals collected rocks and stones to fill the holes, cut heather and bushes, and built the runway.
