Day: 261
Getting a late start in Manigango, we headed off to see a sacred lake at the bottom of a glacier. The skies agreed with me and the complete lack of anyone else around had me grinning for a solid hour. After a while a group of Chinese tourists did show up, but it wasn’t long before Felicia, Nimrod and I were invited over for beers, lunch and Chinese sing-a-longs. Quite spectacular.
The combo of a liter of beer, sun, and fatty smoked meats had me ready for a nap through the next couple of passes. When I awoke to a giant pothole I found we were in a completely different side of Tibet. We had dropped 1500 meters and were surrounded by people logging and wooden houses. It was the beautiful town of Dege.

Spectacular clouds and rocks on the lake and just clouds in several other pictures. The pictures at the picnic, sing a long really captured the essence of the humanity in this unfamiliar culture. I really felt the ride along that ridge pass. I would have been scared and excited. What a rush.
The 1st photo of the lake and the one of the pass are litterally breathtaking! Amazing job.
Blessed be,
🙂 Michael
