<\/a><\/p>\nThis is a very steep like slope, with foot holds cut in. You can barely see them in this picture.<\/p>\n
Here’s my feet in two of them. They turn the slope into a staircase.<\/p>\n Metchka and Sausage ahead of me just before the tough bit.<\/p>\n I don’t know why, but this final bit up is still a challenge.<\/p>\n Here’s my village, Malak Izvor (Little Spring). Population of about 300.<\/p>\n I used to stop here and then go down another path. But Sausage was keen for me to know there’s more through here.<\/p>\n This is a logging road. I know because I saw a logging truck go down it.<\/p>\n I followed them up the logging road.<\/p>\n Sausage then veered off to show me this footpath.<\/p>\n That goes to this trail that parallels the logging road.<\/p>\n Amazing views from that path when the trees clear!<\/p>\n Metchka’s waiting for me, Sausage is sniffing around.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
