Landslide on the Yangzi River

Extra! New Flash from Three Gorges

This morning we passed through the first of three gorges on the way to the famous Three Gorges Dam. As we came around the bend we were stopped and sent back. It turns out there was a huge landslide just ahead of us blocking the passageway.

A bunch of sticks and mud floated by and the clean up boats were cleaning it up. (They clean up everything here!!). We started through a second time and were turned back again. Great adventure!!  We may have to circle back to Feng Do and continue on a bus. Great excitement here on the Yangzi!

We may have missed the Typhoon but got to experience a landslide!!  Cool.
