Bala Boluk


We stopped in Bala Boluk on our way to Farah, talk about hard living, the Americans living there are enclosed in this camp no bigger than a football field inside of an Afghan police compound, right off the highway. They sleep in tents and have very little in the way of amenities. Tent living and crappy food for the most part. Life here at Camp Stone isn't so bad after all!
The landscape around here is just surreal, and the sights make up for being stuck in this country. But I would still not have volunteered to come.
