Mount Elbrus, Mineralnye Vody

My last post for a while as I will be out of internet contact for awhile. I have landed At Mineralnye Vody and transferred into the mountains. A classic Ulyanov.
                                      
 A view of the valley.

 And another valley.

 another view.

 The valleys got steeper as we went further in.

 The roads were rough, the driver drive too fast and there were cows on the road.

 Another view.

 The Baksan River.

 A view f the town...

 ...and a picture of a snow capped peak.

I will be back with you in ten days time.
