Here we are on day one getting ready to go just after we got off the train in Tver. |
This is a fairly typical campsite. |
When Vladimir told us we had to ford this creek, all the foreigners thought it was a distinctly bad idea. Fortunately, once we quit whining and started doing it turned out to be not much of a big deal. Nowadays I'd think nothing of it, although I was a bit nervous when I walked across carrying the bag with my computer and camera. Bents are even more comfortable than Diamond Frames when you're carrying them across a creek. The seat is nicely padded to protect the shoulder. These guys think of everything <g> |

The Soviets tried to stamp out religion, so all the churches that they didn't outright destroy, or preserve for "historical" reasons are pretty run down and beat up. A lot of them are being renovated now, but the work doesn't appear to be progressing all that fast. |
Check out the size of Richard and Deborah's tent. I think I could set my tent up inside of it and they wouldn't even notice me. |
