no idea Monkie. ive never been down that road, so i couldnt tell you. road road runs by the river. you could probably see the very edge of the retaining wall of the channel on the bottom right.
all i know is that its every man for himself on the road, and that seatbelts are for wusses.
here my daytrip to Qarnet Sawda
we stopped by a town near the popular suburn of Kissba here to take a few pictures of a castlelike house built by a lebanese man who imported the dark rocks from another part of lebanon. this place has become iconic apparently.
can u tell where im from?
the outlook at Kissba
Lebanon has a massive collection of old european cars.
by far the most populsr are Volkswagen, BMW, and puegot which ill post later
this is for all my american friends. i have no idea what the connection with misissipi is, but there you go. A restaurant named after an american state in lebanon.
the lookout at Hasroun
the snow usually lasts till august. here is the first bit of snow we saw going up the countryside.
a Renault carrying a diesel generator? what the...?
where my trek started
looking back from where i came
first bit of snow after an hour and a half
ran into a shephard and his goats..and dog. turns out the guy had visited sydney a few years back and knew where i lived. strange!
at 3000above sea level theres still plenty of snow up here
view from a vantage point close to the top at 3050m
me at the top of Qarnet Sawdah, Lebanons highest point!
view on the way down once the clouds came in. i wanted to get off the mountain as soon as possible because the temperature plummets in the afternoon, although i had my cold weather gear with me just in case.
an isolated trek. not a difficult one, but a nice little challenge!
