Along Sega, a Nomadic Penan now based in Long Adang was last in action in 1987 during the Blockage days. These 3 photos was taken by a friend in Lawas Market on a Sunday May 11 2008 just a week before our trip. We make appointment to meet him at Long Adang during the trip but to our disappointment, our 4 wheel driver says that he can't drive to Long Adang because the offroad to Adang was really bad. When we came back to Miri that evening, I received a text from Dominic who was in Long Keneng that the Adang Penans were waiting for us. Real disappointment but we will try again.
