the spring of 2007 I decided to electric networks. Not sense to remove the wires from the poles and sit on the Non-Ferrous, there is great competition, and pull the wiring in new homes. Opened Ltd., gave a very original for our region called the "East." Since neither my education, not all the previous activities were not associated with working with electricity, the question of staff.
lifted his acquaintance, I found and invited to the post of director of an experienced leader in this sphere. But he soon went to the hospital and came out a month later, refused to work due to ill health. Then I found the former head of the energy control of the republic, retired, and we agreed to it the work of the director in my company. For reasons known to me soon, I pushed this idea. And as the short summer approaching, we decided to just spend it well and postpone the start of a new activity for the fall.
In August, a company of six people, we went on a yacht on the Lena Pillars. This is a unique Corner relict nature, national park, located about two hundred miles up the Lena River from Yakutsk. Agreeing with the familiar in a river port, we have picked up going to the barge, which pushed the tug. Was the heat, and all day we baked in the sun on the deck, admiring the nature.
Hours five in the morning all woke Sanya, the owner and captain of the yacht. It turned out we get rid of the barge and, approaching the shore, and sat down at the bottom of the keel. Jumped into the river, swung and pushed the boat afloat and anchored.
We stopped just above the pillars on the opposite bank, near the village of Sinsk., Famous for its potatoes. Huge fields I have not seen, but all potatoes sold in Yakutsk, sinskaya. On the morning with spinning at the ready, we moved to the Blue River, on the shore of which stands the village. Had heard about the unique of the local fishing, we did not expect that the river can be so obmelet. After admiring the beauty of this place, we returned empty-handed to the boat and began trolling on the Lena.
Irina, Sanya's wife, while we had fun with the gear, prepared to eat and called to the table. Still not a bad thing when a team has at least one woman. While we ate and drank, the frames of freshly grilled grouper, which we did not try. Sun and we have adopted a traditional Russian drink to travel out of town, did their job, and the first catch is turned into ashes. Replete and satisfied, we embarked on boat, sail, good, that the winds blew, and crossed the Lena River.
the night at the foot of the Pillars, we had breakfast and took cameras, camera and went down the trail to the top.
Top view of the Pillars of breathtaking. No camera can not convey this. In those places where people did not have time still exert his creative hand, is in a very different energy. Poles love to ride on weekends yakutyane, here they bring all the noble guests.
went down and had dinner, we pumped the rubber boat, took a spinning and went fishing. Sanya, I and my son Max, a student who came me in the summer of Nizhny Novgorod, retreated to the boat five hundred meters from the yacht. Creek flowing into the Lena River, can not do it on foot. Leaving a couple of spinners on the rocky bottom, we produced some good pike, and for dinner Irina prepared fish cutlets.
With the weather we were lucky in the morning again at the clear sky sun was shining. We got up early and Maxim set out on a boat to the place of yesterday's fishing. I hitched to a new leash and spoon with the first cast pulled out a large pike. After the second throw spinner took another pike, apparently very large, and the line does not withstood the ...
catch a few pike and perch, we're back the camp, along with all eaten, loaded onto a boat and pushed off things. We set sail, and although the wind was rather weak, moving down the river, gained a good speed.
ran a yacht all in turn. Who wanted to play a board game - similar to the cash flow. " Irina on the run prepared food on a plate and we dinner.
late afternoon, with an eye on during the day to catch fish, cook dinner on the campfire and put up a tent, began to look Good place to stop. When we liked the small sandy creek flows into the Lena River in the creek, we approached the shore and threw the anchor.
morning a hasty breakfast, about two hours we unsuccessfully threw his spoon into a river. It is evident that something was happening with the weather and the fish was gone. We again raised the sail, and went on.
Next stop was at a place called Deering Yuryakh. Ancient tools found here by archaeologists, scientists fired up controversy around the world. Perhaps, there lived the oldest people on Earth. We climbed the mountain, which also opened a delightful river views. At the top of the mountain for several years were excavated, all were plowed by bulldozers. We are currently not intended to continue the excavation, so I just walked up the hill, talking to the historical theme.
an open area where the bulldozer has not yet passed, we saw the rich placers of cranberries and Shiksha, feast on the ripe berries and descended down the mountain where the camp and spent the night.
Reaching the next day to the mouth of the river Buotama, knowing how it is rich in fish, together with Sanya on elastic we tried to break through to the river shallows. This summer was hot, and water in the river greatly diminished, the bottom in many places bare. I had to go back to the boat.
decided to go fishing on the Lena. And while it was the height of the day, we went to scout the terrain.
Above us on the high bank were several small houses. It turned out to something like a recreation center. The watchman told us that is located near bizonary that proved to everyone by surprise.
Once on the territory of Yakutia, huge herds of grazing buffalo. Through Chukotka bison migrated to North America, where they are perfectly adapted. During the last Ice Age animals became extinct in Yakutia. Now the population of bison remained only in Canada.
Government of Canada has presented a year ago, Yakutia twenty-six calves, which brought in two trailers. Now they're grown up, seemed to be quite powerful animals, though, when we found them, we were promised, that within a year they will be twice larger.
We strayed a couple of hours on wooded fields, have not yet reached the place of feeding bison, resting after a meal. Here stood unfinished house, as it turned out, for future travel. The Government of the Republic is counting on interest in Yakutia guests from abroad.
part of the stage rose to his feet and walked out of the corral, where they were fed. I went to meet with a camera, strongly doubting someone who should beware. I must say, the massive animals, armed with strong horns, did not look gentle and harmless. I managed to do a couple of shots, like a herd exploded from me directly through the bush and swamp.
When we returned to the boat, gathered the clouds and strong wind. Tighter securing a boat, we took refuge in the cabin of the rain. The remainder of the day had to spend on a yacht, fun board games and conversation.
again in the morning sun was shining brightly and a stiff wind blowing, which filled the sails of the yacht and drove our ship so fast, like we started the engine. To Yakutsk left about a hundred miles away, and we are looking for a suitable island to another couple of hours to stop and leave the spinning ...
By evening, the tenth day of our hike yacht went on boat station in Yakutsk.
Here you can see more pictures.
Buying in Vladivostok truck (all described cases occurred in different years), I returned to Yakutsk. In Ussuriysk, I turned off the federal highway toward the Chinese border, and drove a hundred kilometers to the village. Border (railway station Grodekovo). With a local travel agency for four days, I went to the Chinese city Sunfeyhe, where well-rested and entertained. 
Often forest areas along the Far East roads are framed by bare black tree trunks. Sometimes these sites turn into swamp and the forest was no longer restored.
