seemed heavy but we were eager to start out journey. Gilget, Northern

It was not long until we hit the first obstacle, a
rather large scale rock slide that must have just happened within
the last half hour
John looking happy while we investigate how to get the bikes through
the rock slide. It was only a few hours later that they were able
to clear the whole road, with the help of a lot of dynamite, and
some heavy machinery.

Notice how clean all of our gear and clothing was at this point
in the trip.
