Shamora Beach, Primoriye region, Russian Far East. Fly from Osaka, Japan to Niigata; change to ancient Tupolev and fly to Vladivostok; drive up coast road for several hours into more or less pristine version of what northern Japan must have looked like about 1000 years ago. Nice people too.

Good point. We used to have more "What I did on Barbados" shelling reports,
for example. Okay, I have a question for you far-venturing folks. What was
the remotest locality you have ever collected at (in terms of the difficulty
of reaching it, not necessarily distance), and what made it special?

Happy New Year!
