Geysers |
|
| After 4 days of great fishing we
decided a break would be in order so arrangements were made for a site
seeing trip to Russia's Yellowstone, the Valley of the Geysers. The only
access is via helicopter so we arranged to have the helio pick us up on one
of it's sightseeing flights out of Petropavlovsk
