NATURE'S BEAUTY Waves transform Russian seaside from a dumping ground for alcohol bottles into a colourful ‘pebble beach’ The Ussuri Bay used to be a dumping ground for old glass bottles and waste from a porcelain factory but the waves from the Pacific Ocean have rounded and polished the debris left behind....

Maybe?
But I have heard of many family outings and how they made home.
A favorite is the one where a rod let go, someone pulls them into town, they put a bob weight (counterbalance) on the crank and drove off into the sunset. Circa 1950’s
I called BS!
My uncle produced a JC Whitney catalog listing the bob weights for sale!!!

Hard to believe these are natural stones with all of those wild colors.
Naw, this was out in the middle of Siberia. 100 miles from no where. 1000 miles from where they started from.
It’s a great book and an interesting history. Gets into the WHY of the Siberian Exiles, Gulags, and the “Road of Bones”.
