Olarabel Forest

My curiosity is too strong. This road to Mochongoi up from the valley at Waseges river is supposed to be undrivable. After taking the northern detour, sleeping at a primary school and arriving in Mochongoi the next day I still want to see "what the challenge is" and find a passage which indeed is very, very steep and paved with big stones which would make a climb pretty difficult. Even with 4x4, differentials locked, finding grip on big loose stones is difficult and the steepness makes it dangerous. But with the visible, somewhat cleared motorbike path it should be possible to get grip at least with one side of the vehicle. Also, part of the road - just at the upper ridge - must have been flushed away in a small avalanche recently. There is a very narrow passage coming up, having just the width of my car. I have breakfast here, walk down with a cup of coffee, up, down and up again, re-thinking if I should risk driving down and not being able to come up again :D In the end I do not drive down even tough it should be possible. Somehow I don't want to loose a whole day of "experimenting" and save this place "for the next time when going west". Later I will regret this decision :pRead more
