Narisa

---

-87 days till Afghan national elections/127 days till I get home

My last thunder mission was based in Narisa, a fairly new outpost that was under construction when we were there. The scenery was spectacular, but the terrain was unforgiving. We had vehicles get stuck on multiple occassions. We stayed for 2 weeks and headed back to Clark.

the villages here are entirely draped by the mountains

curious boy
This place was so remote, I don't think they were used to getting visitors

Resting after a long patrol...i look how i feel here-literally

locals
the kids were shy at first, but they came around

another hidden village
this looked like an ancient city you would read about in a collection of myths
