Traveler’s notes ECE “Razvitie”

, 3th August- mountain “VWednesdayerblud"
Today our first trekking to the mountain «Verblud" was coming to us. We saw it from our camp, but not completely. Therefore it seemed to us not really high. When our bus brought us to the foot of the mountain, we understood at once that the way would be not such fast as we thought. But while we rose, before us such beauty of Altai opened that it was easy to go. When we had risen by top, there was cedar wood. And on the earth there were a lot of the cedar cones filled with nutlets lay! We began to collect these cones how many could we carry away. In caps, backpacks, packages. As a result we returned to the camp with fine load!

Sunday, 7th August
Today there was the third day of the travel. And today my team had to make a breakfast. But the breakfast was unusual, from fish what was caught in the evening by fishing in Katun yesterday. I never cooked before soup, from the raw fish on a fire. It was so new! And, we woke up early in the morning. It was very cold, and left a tent, we saw everything was covered with thick fog around. Then we went down to the river and began to prepare. Oh, I will never forget how we scaled this “half-dead” fish on the bank of Katun, observing around ourselves a remarkable morning landscape! Soup turned out into very tasty, and filled up the list of dishes which can be prepared in a trekking time.
