Outpost

With 2000 miles and scores of villages behind us we have finally settled in at our eastern flat…or “Outpost” as the kids like to call it. We cruised along the Black Sea from Istanbul to the Republic of Georgia with many side trips south and into the Kara Deniz Daglari.
Driving from the coast up into the Anatolian Plateau opened new territory for our crew of four. We stopped for a day at Macka and made some new friends on the way to the abandoned "cliffhanger" Sumela Monastery.

We have been in Dogubeyazit for a few days and will be basing out of here for our explorations into the mountains. With such a late start to this year’s foray we have had to condense our plans and focus on the priorities.
With our internet connection points at a minimum…don’t think we have forgotten you. It just gets a little breezy hanging off the pole trying to type.
Tomorrow south and east to the Hakkari Range.
