We drove further up the valley out from our road side
camp, but not as interesting as it seemed on the map. Saw a small
christian church with graveyard. Back passed a few people and all
the empty houses with roofs collapsed. It must have been quiet a
community in here once. A mosque is situated in the middle of the
villages and is a much bigger structure than the church.
On a corner was a snow drift EC stopped
then slipped on her own iced tread. John managed to dig a track and
reversed out. I left him digging tracks forward and I walked back for
the snow plow. After 1.5kms I met the plow coming my way. Stopped
and talked to him he nodded, slammed the tractor door and left. Damn
I was hoping for a lift! A long walk back. John met me at the corner.
He had got through and was picking up his equipment when the plow
came through and made easy work of his shoveling….

We
followed the plow to the main road, I got out shook his hand and handed
him a kangaroo, a big smile in return.
On the road we came across this tractor decorated with branches with a group of guys on the trailer. They had a few bottles of homemade plonk. A full bottle was passed through the window to us. We both had a sip and held grimaces at bay. Good fire starting material!!!. Despite enthusiastic signals to keep the plonk, we hand it back; certainly didn't need a litre of it!. We then noticed that some cars had twigs in their grills, In another village we came across another tractor and trailer load of people but were not stopped.

At Starigrad we viewed the small waterfalls and lovely lakes, it would be very different picture in summer.
We drove through the old fort's walls which was full of houses and shops.
The rest of out day was pretty good. But had a bit of trouble finding a camp. Asked a gas station if we could park by the river but he signaled us to the other side of the river. We drove over and along a well used uncleared white road.
Found a spot to camp but in turning
around managed to put both back feet in a wet muddy drain under the
snow in -3℃. Max-tracks didn’t cut it, so winched her out
and parked the the night beside the road. Twice stuck in the one day.161km
