September 30 baibung Township - Medog County,
Has been no rain stops, Medog anything strange in your absence, that is not short of water, water everywhere, in addition to a wooden house to sleep. Rain non-stop, my feet can not stop.
Today, 32 kilometers to go, climbed the hills in primary schools, distance depot drill vaguely heard the voices of the past, when long time. I suddenly Health inexplicable sorrow and grief, his face more of the water.
I try to pedal with one foot to the leg of the muddy water flooded, every step is firm. The lake from the comfort of playing to another of life unimaginable environment, I am feeling. These two very different places, are digging me a copy of feelings.
Go to Medog County, the road is not difficult to walk, there is no significant slope to climb, in addition to dozens of small landslides, the debris is a flat road. Case of a herd of cattle in the hillside, was expelled me and Xiaowei three kilometers, was later also used across the county come from the people in the back, we want to make a fortune selling cattle arrived at Medog this shattered dreams.
4200 meters above sea level dropped to 600 meters, hot weather forced to wear short-sleeved Sometimes I'd rather walk in the rain. Thirsty, drink roadside streams. Rain, sweat and also with the body then flows back to earth. The way are sub-tropical scenery, mountain eyeful of wild banana trees. In Tibet can only be seen here to be fresh banana and eating bananas. In the grass as tall as me, I took about the name of bamboo grass, locals say, here called Snake Hill, but I just come across one, slept be properly a Black Snake, was a moment of my bamboo stamp jump Lao Gao, of course, me not scared of light. There are N of the same Sijiao She looks like a lizard. No it is.
Walked 9 hours, 5:30 at last, the long absence of the beautiful white walls, is only too natural, or mosaic decorating the house, expect this is a Medog County. Zheduo hidden in the mountains Garak Lotus was heavy cloud of sail sail around.
Medog is the front-line border areas, baibung three battalions of troops are subject to each patrol chopped Jing Phi Lam. So far there are border disputes with India, about 90,000 square meters by the Indian occupation. To the police station to report the county's registered in the county a total of two guest houses, where to find accommodation, due to the arrival of inspection teams, and our accommodation is difficult to deal with explicit, but after all, you can still find a place to stay.
Finally changed into dry clothes, and wearing a battalion commander to send a soldier on my clothes, put on dry shoes, going out, take a closer Medog County. The so-called county, is 20 blocks of the actual house, there is no planning, it was a pile of a pile, sporadic spilled on jagged hillside, walking in the street with only one road, there is no inch of the concrete road.
Here, the price should be the highest in the country, guest houses in the county, I asked the vegetable to pull out a frying 35 yuan. Xiaowei and I had to eat elsewhere 10 yuan a bowl of noodles. Chatted with the restaurant owner, recently whether there is other tourists into the Medog, the answer came in yesterday, a Shanghai man had, from the Bomi come in, because there is no border card, so and from Bomi out. We asked in detail later, they are definitely that this person is Tibetan medicine, really took us by surprise, he actually entered. But could not wait to join with us to go out again, and he did not way along the road.
Before bed, picked with a needle and mixed with salt water blisters on feet a moment more comfortable. It made me feel the pain and happiness after another.
Medog County, October 1
Today is National Day, I thought of how arrangements for a friend in Shanghai in this National Day, pondered, homesick, and want their loved ones, and also particularly like the family super-wide bed.
County, which is equipped with satellite phones, but also I met the most difficult to get through a phone call from a friend报平安to give their loved ones, call for nearly forty minutes to pass, what may be broken again and again, playing the dozens of minutes later, Tung , and did not say a few words has broken, and I had to give up.
I mentioned in the previous turn dogxung Butler encountered Hubei, plans intended to rafting the Grand Canyon's back-fu came to us and sent him to baibung color TV, he also went to the county of. He warmly invited us to his residence for lunch, he called Song Bin Wu, in the county and another two individuals who lived in the same experience with the plastic around the Jianyi Peng, the very old. They gave us a pot of cooked beef and radish soup and a platter of Liang Pi, we are happy to eat chatting. Song Bin Wu spent four years in Medog, which four years while he visits the Grand Canyon by doing porter, he went to the drift of the Beijing sponsorship, but did not succeed, no one believed him, and said he was a madman .
He said that if the success of this drift, if still alive, they come to us in Shanghai, he thought of Shanghai Guinness record declaration. I admire him a harsh look, here wish him success drifting, but also in Shanghai, together with his drinking.
Xiaowei said that the most memorable is the county let him guest house toilets, four ventilation, the county government built on the commanding height of the county, the county government, of course, Jie Guang toilets, and looking ahead, most beautiful scenery in the foot. I took him back Tim 1: Zhongdian Tiger is far better than the best in the world jumped toilet.
October 2 Medog County - 108k
No exceptions, or rain. Once again put on army boots, a circle has not walked a few steps are properly tied on Shengteng ankle, continued on our way, we must arrive before dark 108k.
Walking for nearly an hour, I pointed to the house opposite the beautiful and asked to come together rare back-fu Tong Li: This is what? Dong Li smiled: Yes, you have just left the place, Medog County. I not only hurt address him: God! Turn in the mountains of the Lao Bantian not leave the county. Medog There is a saying: Peak in the clouds, the foot of the riverside, talk hear, walk to the day. Speak not at all true.
Xiaowei a man silent, diligent and head-down walk. He said that I did not expect to accompany him to go Medog. Burst of heavy rain, I am worried that his body, he did not poncho, wearing short-sleeved, if a fear that he would be stopped cold. Xiaowei to get along with nearly 10 days, and in the Deqin met to go along with the rain falls, know he is honest, not much of the small group, not eating the way the sound of walking, he earplugs MP3, imagine the MP3 with the surrounding environment, I look a bit ridiculous and harmony. Xiaowei their own entertainment while walking to listen to, and sometimes want to see the beauty of what he was after the exchange of feelings, but there is no audience, extremely depressed.
The way we had never come across other tourists to go Medog, the locals say that this year than in previous years had fewer people walk on, perhaps some time ago because of SARS. However, I did not expect to come away Medog's.
13:30 to a small village, a village in the door to sit down and rest, and Xiaowei gnawing hostel in the county bought four white-bread Canadian Red Bull drinks, Xiaowei reluctant to drink you let me drink. Homes of villagers, young girl (who is called Mamba Wu Ji) to see them, Come our huts, look up a fire, so I feel a hint of dry warmth. Little girl side to steaming yak butter tea, I was moved into a mess, good drink!
Fast arrival 113k Office, Tong Li reminds us that there is a large cave in the front office, to be especially careful this year, there were two local people flying crashed crushed stone. I tohritsu peers, to large landslide, near a large cave 200 meters long, this road is gone through a good number of landslides, really do not see so dangerous. Happen to have four local villagers, holding his horse over landslide, two men first washed in the past, they have a tub immediately behind a large rock rolling down, scared of us and the other two Ukrainian Ji screaming. They quickly ran forward and hid behind a boulder, to be honest, I was scared. Tai Zhaotou two of them looked at the high landslide, convinced that there is no rock fall, hastened to greet the name of the other two gestures of the past, they are safe after a two-way trot. Two boys, gesturing mean our turn before. Dong Li again, exhortations, and quickly run, do not stop! I am flustered, took off his raincoat body, so able to run a faster, Xiaowei ran in my head, I am going behind it. Chong! My feet become soft, ride a road-side kick only to allow the width of the shelf, to remind ourselves that each foot should be careful to go to the central landslide, debris flow there is a yes, my feet stuck into it, this time, I brain disorder, and instinct to stop the rise to see if there is a stone falling from the back to help look at the situation of the East-li urgent, and loudly called to me: Do not stop, run, do not life in! I did wake up Meng, unplug the mud flow in the legs, hurriedly went to the other end of landslides.
We are safe gone. I was about to Shu tone, just over the East Li Meng is heard behind me a roar, and scared I think there are a rock fall, another burst of mad rush, turned out that he deliberately scare me, alas! Not being stoned to death, he must have been scared to death!
After Xiaowei blame my own bow to fierce hurry, regardless of danger. Not! But I always believed that ---- my life, so in that time, I do not need to implement the nervous of. Even when they are falling rock, then hired some heavy bar!
4:00 to 113k, but we do not wish to rest, intends to go today, 108k's Inn, while my feet go numb, the pain yet to wake up it should go more.
No dark days we have successfully reached a 108k. I ate a bowl of the examination paper under his face, when hungry, eat at the Lan Hu noodles, taste, a beautiful sight.
October 3 108k - 80k
A look at a few kilometers, we calculate the road, 28 kilometers to go today. Is also the last day of the walk, we reached the 80k, you can go out chatting up trucks, one thought I would not have legs to walk, and another long fierce strength in them. Shui-chu with bamboo stick a hooked one of the 96k, is 12 points, and in accordance with this rate, less than a 80k before dark is the time for the. I kept for their own fuel to remind that they have that kind of strong. At last legs numb, hurt, and can go faster. Come again and again of the landslides, walk through a stream of have gone through a root Dumu. I became more and more in stride.
Again and again with 30 minutes on the steep mountains and narrow sidewalk, they arrived in a beautiful wooden bridge, the reason for beautiful, because I saw the wooden bridge on the Inn of the 80k. Finally see the orange-red truck parked in 80k, I am pleasantly surprised to east and Xiaowei Li yelled: finally see the car has four wheels, you can not feet away.
The military has been frayed rubber sandals, leggings washed on the shop door, watching the look of Health feelings, and tomorrow do not need them anymore.
October 4 80k - Bomi
In the large pickup truck box of a staggered start, and today is subject to a warning with another's pain.
That the car is very easy to find, inquire about a few today, and crosses out of the car, one of the left early, leaving a car, and drivers wear for quite a while before paying lip service to let us catch a car, the results of the driver's seat are filled, and we had to carry big boxes, and much of the post-box just down the cargo, empty as far as I, and Xiaowei.
"Great Britain" is deeply comprehend at this moment has finally arrived, we are Britain's pop-up half a meter tall, but also a wooden carriages fell abruptly, but also to let me live! Akira Akira left right, wrong and right is left stir stir, which also called the road? We are like a broken luggage was lost in the post-carriages, called every day should not be called to land should not be. Cool rain water seepage from the leaning behind the iron down, put my clothes Shenshi, and icy cold. Is limited, I could not help the car so mad Britain, 18 of money breakfast to vomit.
To the 52k, the car suddenly stopped, listening to the Tibetan driver out of North Korea after the boxes of our shouted: eat! I have reeling out of the car and saw another truck parked at a meal, thinking to have a seat to Bomi, and did not expect this car when you turn Galong La Mountain, to the hillside retrace the event of snow, this driver said in the mountains in the snow, had been very thick, and car pick on. You certainly could not pass today. Xiaowei heard too fast, and Pao Quwen our mountain snow truck drivers do not go away? The Tibetan driver is actually very straightforward Re: go! Why do not you go, do not even get out of walking out after two days go. To say here that seal off the mountainous.
Ate nervous to jump again after the case, I think from now on, I have seen patients after the case that it must be scared. While eating lunch, I am afraid that will not spit for a while, and as expected.
Turning the car in the 4700 Miga Lonlas Yamaguchi, and think Medog this place, come in to bring up snow-capped mountains, but also turned out to snow-capped mountains, and out of all difficulty,!
Car in climbing, and Xiaowei looked at the table elevation, 3300 meters, 3500 meters, 4000 meters, 4200 meters, and into the snow line, and climb the slopes, I do not fear, may be pulled under the snow slope we are firmly on board iron bar, thinking, if not brake car, rushed down the cliff we have finished play. Xiaowei Menshengbuxiang closed his mouth a minute or two look at the elevation of the table. I have straight side of the cold shivering, outside under the snow, I am wearing a long-sleeved plus Jackets, again spit empty stomach, hand-pulling hard cold car, I thought of everything. Q Xiaowei: You come out to buy insurance? I have bought, and if today I did a life, you can lose 400 thousand of the. Xiaowei use fear to manage my hair white face smiled.
Vehicle speed downhill fast, I guess the car is not not brake. Xiaowei told me still looking at the table above sea level, down to 3,800 meters, and down the snow line, and to 3,500 meters away, and sweep aside the rain of the color of plastic film, which happened down the snow line, we have two heavy relieved, This was found Xiaowei of the BP-coated flat I was sitting flat, not decent of.
To a 80k car that you can enjoy a happy life, and enjoying the cool shade of the most bitter of the most tired and most mental excitement was actually the last day and sat on the car, killing the future, I will not sit this car.
6:00 Finally the driver brakes, to Bomi had. To? Really into it? I just like like an idiot asking Xiaowei, in the car one day I did not want to, we do want to quickly rushed to the Bomi, but I do come at this moment, but can not be trusted. Today, I am so bitter. Bomi felt to see heaven. 80 km road race the whole day.
One out of the family received a phone call from Ji Zhaowen my safety, let me quickly back to Shanghai. I Dungan sour nose.
Then received from a friend to ask, how do I like? I am safe and well. Safe return.
Medog memorable trip.
After the order:
My table was missing a black stone pot port is brought out from the Medog is the local specialty. Reminds me of the ride from the 80K out of the vehicle tightly guarding it Ishinabe action. Can be said of the post office send fragile items to prevent the final or in peril only then send it away. 20 days later, Xiaowei immense suffering and tell Ishinabe shape, Xiaowei of that broken miserable, my lack of a corner stick adhesive can be used for furnishings.
Two days before, suddenly remembered that the Grand Canyon rafting Zangbo friends, they would inquire about the situation Medog three camps can be answered in this regard did not get the message. I do not know how he was, and still do porter do?
