Last night, the owner of Aobao told me that a convoy from Yanglong got stuck in a group two days ago. After calling the police, the police informed them to go to rescue them, and they drove two cars to rescue them. He strongly advised me not to go crossing alone by bicycle. I told him that the car has front and rear winches, ground anchors, and wooden boards… The boss thought about it: then start early, the ground is still relatively hard before eleven in the morning, which is relatively good Walk. Before leaving, he half-jokingly told the boss that if I call you when the car gets stuck, you have to come and save me. The boss smiled.
Altitude of Aobao by the lake
I woke up early in the morning, it was after five o’clock, it was still dark, and the temperature inside and outside the car was around minus four degrees.
The main fuel tank is full of 65L oil.
The auxiliary fuel tank is also full of 50L.
The road was rutted and it was too dark to look choppy.
There was barbed wire blocking it, so I couldn’t follow the track.
Crossing the river is inevitable.
The ideal time to cross Lake Hara is from the end of October to March of the next year. Of course, there are also great gods who go across in the rainy season—July and August, and they succeed. I arrived at Lake Hara on the evening of September 22, 2018, and set off early the next morning to cross. So, I soon encountered the first car stuck.
The car was stuck at around six o’clock, not long after departure, and the location was in a small tributary that was neither wide nor deep. The speed of crossing the river was not fast enough, and I felt that it was too late to refuel after the stall, so I didn’t plan too much.
Jimny is just a small dot in the picture, you can find it if you look carefully.
Hara Lake Unity Peak, the beauty is intoxicating.
The few rivers I passed in front of me felt hard when driving, so I didn’t think much about it. I feel that since it is not deep, it should be quite easy, but in fact, it is not so, the foot is soft and sinks.
Tires tied to planks
This time with a rotating fixed anchor point. Use the spare tire as a second anchor. When it was not dawn, the ground that looked like it was full of sand was extremely hard, and it was impossible to insert it at all.
After tossing for about four hours, we finally landed.
It was still dark when the car got stuck.
self-rescue success
Thinking that the closer you are to the lake, the more likely it is that the car will get stuck, so let’s rely on the terrain of the mountain, and it should be done on the mountain. That doesn’t seem to be the case. I have no experience with plateau permafrost.
Car stuck again.
Trapped again, hahahahaha
Trapped point
Looking for rocks, larger rocks are particularly difficult, and the altitude here is more than 4,000, and the panting is very severe.
Hit the anchor point and keep turning along the anchor point, you will faint after two laps, you must squat down for three laps, and you may fall down directly after five laps.
The most tiring thing is digging mud. Dig for a minute, rest for a minute, basically like this.
self heating rice
The pulley is also used
Frozen soil, super sticky, super soft
Various unsuccessful
The time is fast, and it will be dark in a while, so tidy up and make the bed first.
Stack all the luggage in the car to the roof. The single bed is made, the inflatable mattress is inflated, and the down sleeping bag is rolled out.
still a lot of oil
the moon is out
The car slanted so badly that I could only sleep against the door. Say good night to yourself, and go to sleep.
