There is no electricity supply to Tusheti so these sentinels act as simple a reminder of better times when Russia provided the electricity and infrastructure for modern life in this remote region.
Here is the daily 6X6 truck making its way back from Tusheti.This monster of a truck inches its way along the track making up to six point turns on some of the bends. If you are tired of Alton Towers (UK funfair) this is the ultimate scary experience.

Dear Chris and family,
This is an absolutely amazing account, so real and full of great humor! The images are stunning!!! Thank you for sharing! what an adventure! Your experience and reflections make me proud to be Georgian! though I yet have to visit Tusheti! :)
Thanks Nini, please spread the word.
I've met very few Georgian's who have visited Tusheti. When we told people in Tbilisi about our travels they presumed the Tush were all wild mountain people still living in traditional dress. How wrong they could be and what a magnificent world to discover, well if they can stomach the journey getting there.
