A Tour Through Marinko (part 3)
Replies:
First off I feel its necessary to say that paved roads are coming lol
, however as the tour is meant to be only a several day journey you won't see any until after its finished.
jmsepe: Yep, it's starting to get a bit more modern here in the better off areas of the state.
redhairtwiggy: Welcome to my CJ, I'm glad you like the bay and its town!
Tonraq: Hopefully most of the state will get paved roads soon or at least gravel ones lol. Also I hope you enjoy this entry
DonVitoCorleone: Thanks, I'm gonna get mobbed soon at this rate lol. As for the dock system that is fairly extensive given that the state has no actual roads lol.
C4RACORTADA: Thanks and I've got to say I love SPAM lol, but that might be the country bumpkin in me.
Roman_Samdura: See above for the road situation but your quite correct about tearing the roads up. This entry may make you cringe even more then lol.
Map Guy: Thanks, glad you like the terraforming and Old Man's Teeth. There a nice if slightly dangerous landscape.
sarthaknight: lol thanks and yes Tonraqa is definitely the best place for any holiday in Marinko (though Romanovic isn't too bed a place and generally quieter).
VMUJcadet09: Thanks, feel free to pick up a deck chair and stick around for more.
Neto Dari: Cheers, there's a drink waiting for in one of bars lining the beachfront.
rewright: Thanks, I'm glad it looks realistic, it takes time with all the details but it's easily worth it.
MariusMR: Thanks, glad you like how heavily forested the state is.
C4creeper: Thanks, I'm glad it makes you think of Russia as technically, although it's own nation the state is inside Russia.
Entry 11: A Tour through Marinko (Part 3)
Welcome back to our tour where today we visit Nielsovskiy and its surrounds. A tiny little town that mostly keeps itself to itself, the area is actually the furthest away from a large settlement, despite being in the middle of the state. This is reflected heavily in the way of life here, most of all in the sparse settlements and the tracks that are even more dangerous than most of the other dirt
roads in Marinko.
Firstly however, we start this part of the tour in the town of Nielsovskiy , the main settlement in the area. A small, quiet town nestled in the trees that dominate the state could be easily missed if not for the shops that line its main street and the docks. Here's a image of the area showing just how dense the tree cover is and how sparse the houses are. You can also see the mouth of the river Ielsov in this picture.
Also shown here is a image of the small harbour with its ferries that serve a very important role for the area around Nielsovskiy as you'll see in a minute.
Moving on we get to the what is commonly known as the worst road in Marinko. Dangerous to traverse even when dry and deadly when wet or icy, this road routinely claims several lifes a year despite only being several kilometres long as drivers get stuck or overturn on the rocky roads.
Starting in the tiny village of Zeverikay and ending in the larger village of Algish, this road is well known throughout the state for its dangerous tracks. Despite this however, people still travel it to get from the east of Marinko tot he north and west. Below are some images where you can (just about in places) see the mentioned track starting in Zeverikay and finishing in Algish.
As you can see, the track is well deserved of its reputation.
The final image in the ones above show Algish, a small village which unusually has its own tiny port. This isn't due to over funding or odd growth but a necessity for travel links, the ferry being the only way to travel between Nielsovskiy and Algish during the rainy or icy months of Marinko's climate, where the track isn't traversable and the small pontoon ferries are the only link (though in some cases not much safer).
Finally for this entry we have the usual overview of what is the most rural area of Marinko so far.
And that's all for today.
Hope you've enjoyed this look at Nielsovoskiy and its surrounds and you'll join me next time where we visit Nomyto and Atsuka.
Cheers
James
