Now it is clear I missed the sign coming into Phonsavan at night this new cut road and bridge are direct access of Road 7.


Part of todays itinerary is to vist JMAS.
To see a demonstration of their Bombie Clearance Machine.
This machine is remote controlled from 100 meters away.


The business end of the clearance machine these spikes grind and crush the evil baseballs

Battle of the bombie cartoon


The Japanese and Lao personnel who are training to run this remote controlled monster

On Past Phoukout and a quick shot of the old Russian tank.

I rode the bike up the steps for a ways but it seemed a bit hard on the tires and shocks!
There is what looks like [highlight=#ff4080:27x90dmw]a ticket booth but it was unman-ed[/highlight:27x90dmw].
I only saw a couple jars on the hillside but the destination is worth seeing the beauty.

When I was there a few months ago, the ticket booth was manned. The two guys who managed the thing were clearly in the "recycling business" as on my way back they wanted to have my tickets back so they could re-sell them to the next customer. Was also a bit disappointed at the number of jars - looks like the other jar sites you found near the new hydropower project (Nam Ngum 5 and 3) are more interesting.
