This was another interesting day of riding. Great views and a big climb.
At the top of the lcimb, with about 5 kms left to my target town, I had been climbing through pine forests and dense brush when this little house at the pass had a group of men eating and they called me over. I went over and accepted the offer for food. They had been having a good time, as i could smell the alcohol in the gallon jug (homemade?), which i declined but ate some of their food. I am always a bit sketchy of eating in surroundings that may not appear too clean (especially due to my africa experience), but I ate anyway. AND...I had knowingly had my first taste of DOG. And u know what...it was GOOD. These men were lumberjacks, as I had been encountering quite a few of these guys, and the villages up in these hills and mountains seem to be geared just for that enterprise. Booze and dogmeat. Cant beat it.
