Triple travel each time. Second. — MOTOIRBIT

We spend the night at the confluence of the Katun and Chuya. Again evening and morning photo shoots.

The next day it was this:

And this:

We have already returned from the border guards. And before that:
We passed Kosh Agach, after five kilometers there is this slogan.
Well, okay, let’s move on. We drove ten kilometers – post. Runs, waving a stick, like a captain.
-Your documents?
-We don’t have any documents, we’re going to see you! nine0003 -Where are you coming from?
– From the Urals.
– Where from?
-From Yekaterinburg.
– Where from? Cho really? … Your documents?
– Yes, we don’t have documents!, We have rights, we forgot our passports at home … Need rights?
– … And you know that you violated the border regime by passing … passing a warning … and you … .., I have the right to detain you! ….?
Then I ask him: – “Captain?” Do you have a detention cell?
– Yes, there is.
– Will you feed?
– Yes!, We will put on allowance.
-Oh captain!, then we are now driving for beer and will be back! nine0003 …
And the captain smiled.… Like a normal man.? will live.
— Really, where did you go?
– Yes, they wanted to take pictures of beauty.
— What are you? What are the beauties here? Everything is bare and gray!
– Are you fed up with your job?
– That’s right! I’m here from school, already tired. I’m from Kemerovo, we have a good time there. And it’s also beautiful in the Urals, why did you come here?
— Traveling, taking pictures. Captain, can we take a picture with you?
– Well, you are stunned, look out, and so all the cameras stared at us. nine0003 – Do they write sound too?
– No, we don’t have them here.
– Okay, captain, thanks for the sincerity, let’s go back, there is where to ride.

If you write everything that you like, that excites you on this road, that seems significant, then you will only fit into a book. By the way, there are many books about the Chuya tract, but I have not read it yet. I leave this pleasure when I travel for the third time. In the meantime, here it is the Chuisky tract: only a couple of videos.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Wmp5nRr3EE
www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Dh5jWr7PXI
Having not yet had enough of the Chuysky tract, we leave Aktash towards the Katu Yaryk pass. The road in anticipation of the legendary place is undeservedly deprived of our attention. I have a thirst to see what has been studied by numerous photographs, and Dmitry is irritated by the washboard. We stop, look, rest, but something drives us forward.
Well, how much can you? Again the ascent to the next transshipment.
– Maybe they took a wrong turn?
– Yes, the convolutions are painfully thin, they should not miss. nine0003 – And here is the kilometer post. We’re going there.
– The pillar is kind of homemade.
— There, there, I remember these lakes. Everything, everything, this is Lake Uchkel2, or Uchkel3… Let’s go soon.

The road goes along the gorge and slowly begins to descend.
– Well, where, where?
The forest blocks the views, but Katu Yaryk is already felt. A ZIL-157 comes across, loaded with grass so that it barely fits on the road. Do we need to go somewhere?
– What pass? How could this ZIL take it? Or is it still far away? nine0003 Let’s move on. And then something starts to open up.
– Yes! Here it is!
The forest parted, and ….

Chulyshman valley itself. Dmitry turns his head, asks:
-Where is the pass?
– A pass down.
– How is it?
-We will go down, then back up. Let’s take pictures.
We further descend and descend to the pass. I myself begin to worry, but the triumph of the meeting is growing. And now we drive up to the very edge of the gorge, Dmitry literally jumps out and takes pictures. nine0003
Here he is, beautiful and terrible! We see you with our own eyes. Dmitry is a fan of walking along the edge, no matter what I look at him, I leave for the beginning of the descent. I’m talking to a guy in a G8 who was dragged upstairs by an UAZ.
– As the beginning of rearranging on the stones, and even the rope twitches. I thought that everything…
The boy was filled with emotion, and is ready to share some of the fear with me.
– How did you get down?
– Why not go down? Went down easily. But to rise, I first tried it myself. Everything was rearranged on the stones. Moved back about two hundred meters. nine0003 – Did you pay the UAZ?
– Thousand kilometers. But I only paid for three. Then he went himself, with half.
– The length of the pass seems to be only three and a half.
– Nope. Like five will be, or more. Didn’t look at the speedometer, you won’t. Muscovites take two thousand from a kilometer.
– We are from the Urals, from Irbit. Let’s try to go ourselves.
Adding to my anxiety, I returned to Dmitry. He takes a picture and jumps into the stroller.
– Well, what are we standing? Let’s go down!
– Well, no. Let’s enjoy the scenery Dima. I have longed here for so long, let me enjoy. nine0003 – And I took everything off. Let’s go, let’s go!
After some argument, they began to look for a place to park. Not finding something protective, they stood right on the upper clearing to spite all the winds. But, with what kind of place? Ah, that’s what I came here for.

The evening went well. We followed the traffic on the pass. Enjoyed the evening colors, the first stars.

I spent the night restlessly. At first, Dmitry was told stories about Kata Yaryk, then someone woke him up with a clatter-smack. Came out: – there is no one. Like – scared, however, liked the stars. Lie down, let’s think about the descent and ascent. They frightened me with the descent, that many brakes burn, and I was also afraid of the ascent. Before the run, I put a box of “Voyage” in the Urals, and there the “first” was like the “second” of the usual one. It may not pull on steepness. nine0003 – What’s good for rangers is not good for climbing.
Good morning with tea and photo session. Fees get little by little, but the excitement before the descent brightens them up. Gathered, let’s go.
I go through the first pair of sleeves with excitement, because there is no work, and it’s just scary to look down. At the end of the third we stop: – the brakes “boil”. Pour water over the wheel drums. Waiting for the opportunity to look around. We pass the fourth, boil again, stand again.
– It seems to have cooled down. Opa, and there are three UAZs dragging around, you have to wait. nine0003 – Let’s try Dima to lift one sleeve, it is short.
Trying. It’s hard going, but it goes. A little more fun became on the faces. We let the “crowd” of UAZs pass and down with rest. The last straight line is more than a kilometer and more broken.

A small company is watching us below. They come up and ask:
– Have you moved out?
– Yes, it’s a bit difficult with the brakes, otherwise everything is fine.
– And how will you call in? How to check in?
– I think we’ll drop by.
Dmitry adds:
— Irbit and I, we’ll stop by! nine0003 – And we are from Tomsk, we are standing there, if anything.
What was meant? In general, the tourist people are not evil, although caustic.
We drove. Two days according to Chulyshman, like one moment. The northern part of Lake Teletskoye is a fabulous place.

Triple journey every time – MOTOIRBIT

First.
It’s true, I travel the same trip three times each time.
The first time is the idea of ​​going to a specific place and its development. I don’t know how an idea appears, but it appears with some kind of image, or with images. nine0003 I made motorcycles for the Australians to travel and then naturally took an interest in their travel. They traveled with adventures through Kazakhstan, Altai, Mongolia, Buryatia. Everything was interesting to me. But two images from Altai, from two of their photos, sunk into the soul. I can’t find one that shot the Urals large and blurry against a clear background of a soft mountain landscape. The other one is lower, where the guys have a halt, the Katun River and a bright green spot on the opposite bank.

– What’s the stain?

The photo is unprofessional, not juicy, but something captured me. I began to look for similar images in the photo reports of others. There is a stain in the photo from twenty years ago. It turns out that the place is visited. I found this landscape or background many times and all from the same angle. In the end, I found this place on the map, I saw this spot on the satellite image. nine0003
I was drawn to those parts. The stain was only a beckoning mark. I have seen enough of other people’s photographs, photo reports, spent hours sitting in space photographs.
In the photo from space, I was attracted by another mark: Katu Yaryk. I already heard a lot about the pass and watched the video of the ascent and descent, but the photo from space hypnotized me. Here is his view.

I fell in love with these places, I couldn’t help but go. Youtube has been viewed all over. I already asked the guys live who went down or up this pass. Virtually and I have already traveled there. The route was drawn easily. nine0003 For the first time, imagined, I have already traveled through Gorny Altai. I passed the entire Chuisky tract, then from Aktash to the Katu Yaryk pass and further to Teletskoye Lake. Katu Yaryk, three and a half kilometers long, has become a symbol of the upcoming real motocross five thousand long.
Isn’t such a photo of the pass from a helicopter fascinating?

We are going.

In the second.
I’m going to the Urals with a sidecar (Konyashka), I’m going with my son-in-law Dmitry, I’m going in August.
Two days along the Siberian Highway, and by the end of the third, a chic parking lot on the Katun. Several expected views of a mountain river, but the Katun fascinates with its sight, sound and something else. She feels life. nine0003 First night in a tent.
– Where else?

Foggy morning, no rafting, no traffic noise.
– Can we stand a little? Look, the ducks are swimming.
– Yes, yes, yes! You have a plan, Viktor Nikolaevich. Today according to the plan spot?
– Stupid spot. Today, according to the plan, the Chuisky tract.
We stood and admired everything: ducks, hills, gnarled pines on the islets, seething water.

Let’s go.
Chuisky tract is a special attraction – an illusion for a motorcyclist. If you read a lot of stories and his history, it is doubly interesting. The camera practically does not cover: photo on the right, photo on the left, photo on ….; you start to fear that the camera will run out of memory. Video on-off for the same reason. I intentionally do not post a photo for you, you will find it yourself. And I want to roll too. nine0003
Mountain flowering meadows, easy ascents and descents. Ride slowly is a pleasure. We stop, warm up, find unfamiliar flowers.
– Oh, bees! There are many of them, where the hives are.
– Honey is being sold all along the road, and collected somewhere.
– Not cheap honey. You have to buy in the outback. Bring honey home.
– We, Dima, have already brought Omul home from Baikal, with a smell.
– Cones. Let’s go higher, cedars grow there, we’ll collect cones.
Having passed, quite a bit, sparse cedars went. Dima climbed to shishkarit. nine0003
We return to the highway. We pass the Seminsky and Chike-Taman passes. Type in the search engine these names: – a million photos, and mine are the same. In principle, we all photograph the same thing, but our photographs are closer and more expensive.
– Here comes the stain!
– And it’s big, look at the little horses.
– Take pictures of Viktor Nikolaevich, and are we going back?
– Are you kidding? We’ll drive to the end of Chuisky until the border guards stop us.
– We forgot our passports at home, there will be problems.
– Motorcycle Ural is our document! nine0003
The spot is really strange, some kind of bush.
— What else?
— And let it remain a mystery.
We wanted to absorb new kilometers, new landscapes and views.
It’s really impossible to take a picture of something new along the Chuisky tract, everything is on the Internet, but I take pictures, take pictures and take pictures again. By evening, the colors for the photo become more interesting, but you need to look for a place to sleep in the light.
We spend the night at the confluence of the Katun and Chuya. Again evening and morning photo shoots.
