[Music] that shouldn't surprise me I just wasn't expecting to see it so the elevation of these mountains which are truly mountains where snow is remaining is quite something [Music] let's see if we catch it around the corner here [Music] wow oh look at this [Music] oh that's clouds look at this View [Music] well maybe it is still it could be clouds [Music] there's no way you can see this road

at this look at this well now foreign this morning we were just in a rocky landscape that I said was like Scotland and even like Sudbury before we had vegetation well or I should say if somebody had vegetation that's what this morning was like and now oh and now we are in the mountains and valleys oh I'm so glad I made this trip [Music] I'm gonna try and see if we can get behind me because I can't well the creek my neck I can sort of see [Music] over my shoulder Wicked egg and when we came down to sea level the temperature increased by three and a half to degrees Celsius [Music] this is
