Manic 5 hydroelectric dam

Campervan section of the parking lot ... in the rain

World's highest multiple-arch buttress dam

Steve driving around the dam

Note the sharp turn ... yikes

Around the dam we start 104 kilometers of mud in the rain

Then the sun comes out! It's still muddy from the rain but its much prettier

Lots of truck traffic in some areas

We can see nothing through the back windows

A very muddy van indeed

The last stretch of dirt road went through an area of heavy mining. While we didn't share the road with these beasts, there were lots and lots of big trucks.

Really big trucks.

First stop was a car wash in Fremont.

This is what it looks like when you wash the van in the dark.

Welcome to Labrador, the land that paves its roads.
