180km? 50hours. In Lu Huo(炉霍) tonight. Bad road deep deep dust lots of trucks. Still beautiful and Tibetan... Getting drier and less steep. Tomorrow will try and find an alternative route away from the highway and over a mountain on a dirt road for 150km. Got stopped by the police at gun point... Three young guys... one with a machine gun and two with assault shotguns. We played dumb as normal and the finally produced the word passport. Their camera wouldn't work to take pictures of our passports and they told us the road was dangerous and let us go.

I love it when you casually mention being held at gunpoint in a text-messaged blog post. Terse as usual, Mr. Clark! -CDwyer
