Road Trip Pics - Location 1

Road Trip Pics...

Ive recently returned from a great travel opportunity for work purposes. I think technically this still qualifies as a road trip... visiting about 20 different locations in central and western China in about 28 days. Let me add that driving in China -- or in my case being a passenger -- was an exhilarating experience on its own. But I admire a lot of great pics here on the forum so, thought I'd share a few of my own photos with you.

First location was Mt. Gongga and the Hailougou Glacier in Luding, Garze, Sichuan, China.

Nice photographs Obsessive! Thanks for sharing...

Lol. Thanks. I definitely have more. I think I'll just keep updating this thread with new posts.

But as an aside, thoughts of metal detecting did dance through my brain while I was there. But I did not have a md in my kit. Lol.

I did stumble upon an exhibit at one of our locations called Coins in Chinese History, or something similar.

There were lots and lots of them. But here's a few gems I found.






So I guess you could find some cool stuff if you looked hard enough and did your research. I think the their gov't claims right on anything significant... like this little stamp that was found on a river bank. It was maybe 1.5"x1.5" sq.



There were a few relics on display as well..



But in a land where these still exist and littering is an accepted thing.... you're going to be busy. Lol.

Thanks, all. The jet-lag is beginning to wane and I'm becoming a little more selective with the pics. lol. So here's a few random ones.

I do agree it was a great opportunity that Im fortunate to have had. But Im also glad you're liking the pics. For me what I saw and experienced was so unique (as an American who has not done much overseas travel) that I'm excited to be able to share with others a look into some really amazing landscapes from a far away place.

Well, I can only speak for myself and say that I appreciate it. Hopefully, I will be able to return the courtesy someday.
