for a relatively small country we have a lot of different climate areas. especially in winter time.

people tend to think that we live in a desert (yeah right, and we all ride camels), but actually its far more diverse. this is the northern point, called GOLAN HEIGHTS. its not far from the syrian border (check out the tank...).

at some point, in an act of pure stupidity i thought i could cross a field that was covered in snow. real dumb move. at first all seemed well and the kia was doing a nive plow job...but then the snow got real deep and i had to be pulled out. the problem with the golan area is that you can only go into well designated areas - because this used to be syrian land and before we took over these guys left some surprises....so there are still some active minefields. (sounds like we are wheeling in some 3rd world country)and you do not want to get stuck near one - which we did...... anyway - all is well.
