Patrol our Area of Operations, around MELUT. Mostly very tiny villages, with troops stationed here and there. Some roads, which are more passable now that the rainy season is over, but as we found out on this trip, many places are still cut off by swampy rivers or where the road just disappears. Flat, flat, flat - the whole place around here is about 300 m above sea level - and grass growing 5-6 feet.

the road just ended - I had to use the "expedient UN Observation Post" to see the objective - a village we anted to observe to see if there were any troop movements.
