Поход по Мещёре от ст. Петушки до ст. Покров

On March 6th, after work, I headed to Petushki, walked a few kilometers, and spent the night in the forest. In the morning, Tolya joined me, and we went exploring. We encountered many swampy areas; we tried to ford them, but were unsuccessful. We cooked on BRS-3000T stoves; funny enough, we had the same stoves. Tolya had a set of anodized aluminum pots, while I had a regular 555 mug. I planned to walk about 65 km, but ended up walking 37 (including searching for my lost trekking pole), as many areas are swampy and almost impossible to traverse without neoprene or wading boots. Overall, I'm very happy with the place called Meshchera, as it offers many of the things I enjoy about nature.
