Walking with the Bears

The morning is grey but it is not poring down so we decide to give it a try!.We have been walking for 15 minits, got lost once for a couple meters and it starts to rain. We make it to the next hut, a neighbor actually, 15min avay. Goran and Marko stop for a cigarette "lets wait if it gets any better" but the rain just poors down more and more ...

They decide to go back to the gut, in the warm, have a couple beers :) I really want to see if it is possible to get over that mountain to the other side so i keep going, it rains of and on, sometimes strongly sometimes just a little.

First surprise, a smashed animal, he fell from the rocks in the background. I tryed to make a dramatic picture :) Well i m no photograph so no wonder this just looks like nothing. The grey stuff in the forground are the guts of the animal all over the path....

Second surprise, some track, not any tracks..... I m not alone in this mountain :)

The top... its cloudy and i cant see anything i ll walk around a bit more but apart from more bear tracks and the impressive flight of a dozen "aigle" above my head i wont find no track... It gets cold so i decide to go back to the warm hut and definatly give up the idea of getting to the Trenta valley this way. Dont want to be eaten by bears or freeze my ass alone somewhere out there....

Tomorrow i ll head south! somewhere warm! enought rain and clouds....

The Hut

Dom na Komni

I finally get to the hut where an old lady is welcoming the rare visitors at this time, i drop my stuff in the dorm, put on some dry clothe and get a beer :) Later just before night, the 2 only other occupants arrive. They are coming back from a day long walk that normally takes 4 h... The snow is covering up the tracks, they got lost. Even though it is only around 1800 m, there is up to 2m snow...
