About this blog
This Logue is being created in Oct 2006 partly from memory but with the aide of detailed notes made at the time of the trek and notations on the backs of most of the photos.
In the entries and comments to photos, quotes around the text indicate I am copying exactly from the notes I made at the time of the trip in Oct. 1979.
The photos were all taken with a Kodak instamatic using 110 color film. I have never had any pretentions as a photographer and this camera acquired in Khatmandu from a Peace Corps Volunteer for five dollars was the first I owned. Surprisingly a few of the photos are quite good in spite of the equipment and operator's deficiencies.
Since the scale of the map is so small I gave up trying to place map pins.
