I want to go back to my trip to Moscow, or rather, to the day when I was on my way home. Okay, even more precisely, I have 7 km left to reach Makariev. I made a stop at the Neya River to admire my favorite fishing spots.
This year, I planned to visit my mother-in-law for a week at the end of June, but God laughed at my plans and gave me only 1 day to rest in Makaryev, on this river.

Over there, in the distance, to the right, you can see my car. Due to the safety of bridges and rivers, it is now impossible to park a car close to the bridge, the curb is limited by a protective fence. Sometimes on a trip I want to stop at a river, stand on a bridge, look at the water, but because of the ban on stopping at the bridge, I have to banish this thought from my head. But, on October 14th, I still stopped by the Neya River. This was facilitated by the Sun in the sky. I have already said that it is literally raining 60 km behind me. And such weather in this place is a gift from Nature.

And some interesting events were taking place in the river under the bridge. The car tried to pull the boat out of the water on a trailer, but it couldn't. It was a four-wheel drive Niva, and it was equipped with large wheels. But the problem is that this car has a weak engine. This car was developed in the distant 70s of the last century and it is still being produced at the AvtoVAZ plant. The body is being upgraded, but the engine and clutch units remain the same. Yes, the engine now does not have a carburetor, an injector is installed, this added a little power to the engine, but it is still a 50-year-old car. At the beginning of the century, I had a similar car and I liked it, I know all its disadvantages and advantages. But now I've grown out of it.

There is a small island in the middle of the river. Next to him, under an overhanging birch tree, I caught a chub in the summer. I've caught chubs in this place before. That's why I like this river. I don't take the chubs home, I release them back into the river.
This river is shallow. There is a maximum depth of 2 meters, but mostly the depth is at the level of 1-1.5 meters. That's why I looked at the guys with such a boat with great surprise. Most likely, they went down It into the Unzha River. It's about 5 km. I don't see any other reason to be in this place with such a boat. There they went fishing and again went up the river by boat to the bridge.

The guys unhooked the trailer from the car, drove along the river, tried to climb to the shore, but could not in this place. Then they hooked up the trailer again and moved to the other side of the bridge.
A couple of years ago, I caught a good big pike in that place and also caught perch. By autumn, there is very little water in the river.

I crossed the bridge first to the right bank of the river, then returned to the left bank. The guys continued to storm the exit from the river, but the high ridge prevented the car from climbing to the shore.
Then the guys hooked up another car with a cable and with such double force they managed to get the boat ashore!

Bravo, guys! Please accept my congratulations! I was happy for the success of these guys, I understood what was happening with the car at that time. He was straining hard and, most likely, his transmission suffered from such an effort. This is Niva's disease - the transmission starts to burn, smoke and smell. Initially, the engine had a volume of 1600 cubic centimeters, then the engine was increased to 1700 cubic meters, but the transmission remained the same. When switching to the injector, the engine power increased, but the clutch discs and transmission system remained the same. What happened in the end? When a car skids in the snow or gets such loads, the clutch discs begin to turn and wear out a lot. This is the biggest problem. And gearbox wear.

The guys' car roared loudly even after they got out of the river. But I went to my car to drive on.
