Mike and I, along with two friends here in Abakan, made a trip today to visit the Sayano–Shushenskaya Dam* which is said to be the highest dam in Russia.
*I am not going to discuss our visit to the dam in this Post. Suffice-it-to-say I was sadly mistaken when I said previously that it was North of Abakan.
I am able to read the road signs and when I saw the below sign..
I said to my three cohorts, "Hey! We are on the road to Kyzyl (КЫЗЫЛ ). That means we are SOUTH of Abakan!"
The three of them sort of did a ho-hum, and said quizzically, "Yes. You are correct Cap."
The Sayano–Shushenskaya Dam IS SOUTH of Abakan.
If you go to dot.net you will see a map showing the location of the dam and Shushehskoe.

En route to the dam, we stopped for lunch in Shushenskoye (Шушенское ).
Trust your Captain here, I am NOT going to expect any of you to remember Shushenskoye ( Шушенское ).
It was a great lunch stop and I decided to share it with you.
What did all of this food cost? U.S. $6.33.
Below is Alexander, our point-man here in Abakan.
That's all for today Sports Fans.
Smiling .. Cap
