North of the village opens the long narrow valley of Genal the most beautiful as well as the most fertile spot in all the Kamchatkan peninsula.
This reductio ad absurdum was too much for Dodd's gravity; he burst into a laugh, and digging his heels into his horse's ribs, dashed with a great splatter into the fourth arm or bend of the river, and rode up on the other side into the village of Genal.
For twenty-five miles in each direction lay the sunny valley, through which the Genal River was stretched like a tangled chain of silver, linking together the scattered clumps of birch and thickets of alder, which at intervals diversified its banks.
The Sierra Nevadas may afford views of more savage wildness, but nowhere in California or Nevada have I ever seen the distinctive features of both winter and summer snow and roses, bare granite and brilliantly coloured foliage blended into so harmonious a picture as that presented by the Genal valley on a sunshiny day in early autumn.
Dodd and I devoted most of our leisure time during the afternoon to picking and eating berries. The sun was yet an hour high when we approached the native village of Genal.
