Road block






Because of the winter weather, the Sichuan-Tibet highway has become quite 'rutty'. There is road repair every few miles. In a few places they would close the road to through traffic for hours. We got caught twice increasing our journey from 9 to 14 hours. Everyone seems to take it in stride, they held impromptu picnics by the roadside. The locals would roll out the snacks and instant noodles to sell to the trapped travelers.
