Our map . . shows a massive string of . . kasbahs
in this region of the country. We're in the
heart of Caravan and Camel history.
High Atlas ( 8 - 13,000 feet high ) is rather steep . windy . twisting
. . jagged peaks . red soil . surprising amount of evergreen growth at certain elevations
and
many many Berber donkeys
and . . MINT fields everywhere they can level a patch of ground.

The Pass ( Tizi ) is often closed
Villages are few and far between. ( All shots are taken thru the bus window )
Finding a . . flat spot . . to grow mint or corn is a . . challenge
Our
Supratour Bus
stops twice during the 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. journey

This stop is about half way thru the twists and turns in the road ( the "Tizi" / Pass ) . .
Supratour . . is a branch of the country's train system ( still being developed )
Many many many . . ' little ' patches of . . MINT ( not a very good shot . . sorry )
They manage to grow lots of CORN too. Every step is either up or down.
Such is the life of the Berber people in the mountain areas
