logbook - 8th day

Jan 09, 2012 11:51

Okay, I must admit it, saving people from snow became our hobby. We saved the third car today, some nissan was thrown out of the road near Kemerovo. The driver was so thankful for our help, so he just open a trunk of his car, took from there huge sack of ... wheat flour and threw it inside our truck. And refused to take it back by all means. "You helped me, I will help you, no isn't the option!" He was soo persuasive we just can't say no (by the way, owner mazda we saved yesterday tried to gave us money but we utterly refused to take 'em) . So now we have 30-40 kg of wheat flour in our living space and wonder what use could it be to us...




Yes, our truck may be a bit ugly and the worst thing to long-distance travel, with it's huge fuel consumption, noise, vibrations, no comfort whatsoever. Our paws may be dirty from constant repairs and adjustments. But this truck is the best thing you could hope to meet on the road when your comfy little car happened to be stuck in deep snow, at night, far from asphalt so other cars can't dug you out. We have a sack full of flour to prove it!




Oh, and tiggah made a little fire alarm in the truck's cabin, never mind that.

The temperature outside is -10 degree celsius;
temperature inside living space of our truck is +19 celsius;
temperature inside truck cabin is +6 celsius;
stress level of the crew - absolute zero ;
1350 km to our destination.

And now the photos:





























travel, panorama, photos, trips
