Almost Hovd, Mongolia: Day 31
Went to a mechanic for genius engine repairs and bought a suspiciously filthy plastic drum after our gasoline tanks were stolen from the roof of the HiJet in the night. The day yielded bad roads, worse roads, confused convoys, endless pit stops, and sublime scenery and ended with a broken bridge.
Sloooow going. Just made it to Hovd! But the roads allegedly improve after. Car’s been jammed back into shape & is now just being shaken to bits on the road. With Team Quo Vadimus. Looking forward to 500k of asphalt outside UB, for now we’re happy with medium bad! Cell reception virtually non-existant, shocker, I know. Still pushing for the party Sunday. Seen about 15 other teams on the road.
