His old man wasn&#8217;t too chuffed at this turn of events, and insisted his son pay his own way, which he duly did by selling landscapes. Having moved over to Europe, William and his wife found themselves living in Olden, with a summer cabin below Briksdal, which still sits on the campsite a couple of meters from where we&#8217;d spent the last few days. When his father passed away, he left his son $4m, maybe $25m in today&#8217;s money, which William put to good use helping with local projects. The road built back then can&#8217;t cope with today&#8217;s traffic, and is in the process of being upgraded, including a new tunnel which was coughing out dust as we passed.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_23733\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23733\" class=\"wp-image-23733 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC00285-1024x512-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"William's road receiving a new lease of life in 2016\" width=\"620\" height=\"310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC00285-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC00285-1024x512-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC00285-1024x512-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-23733\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">William&#8217;s road receiving a new lease of life in 2016<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_23734\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23734\" class=\"wp-image-23734 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC00288-1024x555-1024x555.jpg\" alt=\"Including the blasting of a new tunnel\" width=\"620\" height=\"336\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC00288-1024x555.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC00288-1024x555-300x163.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC00288-1024x555-768x416.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-23734\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Including the blasting of a new tunnel<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Our plan was to head for F\u00f8rde to get LPG, as our large bottle was showing empty on the gauge.
