D8(3.15)  25KM  5000M Gozha Co to Bangdacuo

Between Guozha Co and Bangda Co, there is a mountainous region with several river valleys and pathways. Last night, I was looking at the map until very late. If there were companions with me, it would be easy to have differences of opinion at this point.

Two days ago, when I crossed the river, too much water got into the camel bags, and it had already frozen. Yesterday, before setting up camp, I poured out a lot of water. This morning, when I checked, the luggage that had taken in water was still stiff and frozen.

I circled around a 90-degree river valley, and surprisingly, there was some greenery around, and more animals began to appear:

My water storage equipment includes one Thermos 2L thermal flask, two Fuguang 2L Tritan water bottles, and two Sanfeng 5L storage bags. I used the storage bags to pack snow.
