9/17/2011 Day 12 (Guidebook Day 8 – led by Mairi)
While we’ve been camping, I’ve mostly been sleeping outside. It’s been amazing. I love my zero degree sleeping bag, though. I don’t know what I’d do without it.
Random side note: the lunches that have been packed for us seem to consistently revolve around cucumber and tomato sandwiches. The dinners here are amazing, but I could definitely do without more cucumber and tomato sandwiches. Today they changed it up and we got a cheese sandwich for lunch. It was just one slice of American cheese between bread, but it was a very welcome change.
Today:
Hot Springs in Chumathang
Touchin’ the Indus River!
Pillow Basalts
Gabbro down-section from the pillow basalts
Chillin’ at a rock stop.
There are two faults visible in this mountain. There is a green section on the left (North), then a dark brown section, then a tan section. The fault between the green and brown section is a thrust fault, and the fault between the brown and tan section is a normal fault.
Cool folded rock.
Tonight we get momos for dinner. “Epic win”. – Jacob
The sky was so clear. I took these right before going to bed.
Today we drove from Leh to Sumdo.
