1:02:01
and that brought us problems because
we had to cut deep into the mountain...
1:02:04
and it's very- very, very tough...
1:02:07
and there were landslides.
1:02:09
Recently, since more than
a quarter of a century...
1:02:13
there hasn't been so much rain now...
1:02:16
and that has brought us
bad surprises.
1:02:18
But basically it is
what I have been looking for.
1:02:21
Today... it went well, but -
1:02:26
I don't know -
I hated the day.
1:02:28
I don't know why.
I have no reason to hate it, but I -
1:02:32
I didn't like that mud up there.
1:02:35
Sometimes I wish to sit
in an easy chair and -
1:02:39
With a cup of tea next to me.
1:02:58
The bulldozer cutting the path through
thejungle uses 150 gallons of fuel a day-
1:03:02
fuel that has to be flown in by lightplane
and ferried up the river in dug-out canoes.
1:03:08
The bulldozer is designed
for tough work...
1:03:10
but Herzog bought it used,
and it breaks down constantly.
1:03:14
Spare parts have to be flown in
all the way from Miami via Iquitos...
1:03:18
and sometimes they're not even
the right parts.
1:03:41
With the topsoil bulldozed away...
1:03:43
heavy rain turns the clay
into deep, slippery muck.
1:03:46
Even when the bulldozer is working, it spends
hours every day sliding helplessly in the mud.
1:03:51
Despite Herzog's high technology,
thejungle is winning.
