Had
a fantastic drive up to a high pass. The road was not well used but
interesting with fantastic views, and some switchbacks.
At
a water point with tap we fitted our hose and filled both tanks. While
John finished the filling I walked on a little.
The persimmon trees laden with fruit.
Great strong gutters in the middle of the road
The
houses were sturdily built from stone with these high wooden storage
“houses”
By
the time we were closing with the pass at 2200m dusk was settling
upon us.
The road became covered in snow and the pass looked to be
closed in by hills. We backed back to the large flat area and camped
at 2180m altitude in the snow, and by a small hut and water trough.
