    The face buff is for the sun, the dust on the trail and the air is so dry it helps avoid the Khumbu cough. It was a very useful item to have. We only had rain on day one then sunny and beautiful but the yak trains, mules trains and trekkers can stir up the dust too.

    Yeah it took awhile for me to get that one figured out. It was a HUGE fake tree on a huge wheeled wagon that was an offering to one of their gods. Seems there was a drought and this was supposed help end the drought. Only problem is that it toppled over a bit and it blocked the road.
