110910 Mosul Trip

110910 Mosul Trip
I've had to do some traveling over the last month and the first stop
was Camp Marez near the city of Mosul in northern Iraq. A lot of my
travel is via black hawk helocopter. As a contractor I travel the
same way that military has to travel to get from point A to point B.
In the pics you can see Major Beall who sat across from me on my
latest flight. You can also see some of the countryside around Mosul.
The highway runs right along the base too. There are also two pics
of what Camp Marez looks like at ground level. The pic with the sign
is the main street and it a dirt road. To keep the dust down the road
is kept wet and so it really makes for a muddy walk at any time of the
year. The last pic is another selp portrait. Such is life in Mosul.
