Tough and Wild Kamchatka
During the intervals between rains, or when the clouds lifted slightly off the ground, I could admire the wild nature of Kamchatka. Bears on the loose in their own kingdom, amid streams and dense green vegetation. Volcanoes gasped, and minerals painted the ground in vibrant colors. I trekked with a backpack, flew in helicopters and had swung in monstrous vehicles in July and August 2016.
