Its an area where the melting snow causes avalanches and landslides. Within an hour they will have climbed one thousand meters to a height of three kilometers. A climb that poses a stern challenge to even the most experienced drivers. God you know. The truck struggles to make ten kilometers an hour on a steep climb. At twenty eight hundred meters the lack of oxygen causes drowsiness and concentrating becomes a chore. The smallest movement requires a real effort. And staying awake is a major channel. Three hundred metres to go before the pos and a chance to rest. Thats out. Cant get it that water. Though it. Was the home of gravity c. F. L. Which i thought. Was a.

Bus ill call it if i. Look up out of there well i thought. Oh well at the. End of. The wood i was his life to the perfect control of his truck but he has no control over nature of course and is at the mercy of the sudden i have a launches that sweet old before them such as this electricity by them.
