Adventure

Tomorrow we will attempt for the forth time to go East. The farthest I have gone so far was just past Dochu La with my internship organization when we had to turn back because of snow. Two other times Matt and I planned to go East, but each time we've been thwarted by illness or weather.

But not this time (I hope)! The King's birthday is next week, so everyone has a 5-day weekend, plenty of time for an adventure. We're hoping to go see the Black-necked Cranes in Phobjikha, then farther East to possibly Tongsa. Tongsa is maybe 80km as the crow flies from where we live, but the valley after steep valley makes it around a 8-hour drive. The road is really windy, so the highway itself is much longer than 80km between the two points.

Of course, two days ago it snowed a decent amount. I'm hoping it will have all melted on the passes by tomorrow...
