The next village on the way was Kuryakovo.
There are few houses here - less than ten.
The village is on the way down a small hill. And there is a stream below.
Here, too, two houses look like someone can live in them, while the rest are mothballed or abandoned.
The house by the stream is the most well-groomed and painted with an unusual combination of colors.
Never painted like this before!
All the villages of the tract are located about a mile away, but then there is a gap...so there must be something in the gap between the next village.
And there is! I looked at the map of the tracts and found the disappeared village of Shulgino there.
But then I decided not to drive. The road only got worse, the ruts got deeper and the puddles got wider.
Through Kuryakovo there is an exit to the highway. This is the third exit from the old tract during trip. If the weather had been drier, I would have been able to drive everywhere. Well, either you need a more serious SUV (with a winch, for example), or go with someone in a pair to insure each other in case of getting stuck.
Although if I took the risk, I would drive everywhere. Volkswagen Touareg 1G was surprisingly quite passable. I was held back only by a psychological barrier, but if I decided to overcome the obstacle, then the machine fulfilled my requests with ease.
And it would be better if I decided to go further, because I missed the whole village...with houses...! I found out about this already upon arrival home, when the network appeared and I was able to open the map. I was so offended that I even had a dream on this topic, that I still managed to get into this village. This village is called Ryzhkovo.
Gestalt remained unclosed!
