Moving forward along the Silk Road.

Well in case you were wondering we did make it out of Mongolia in one piece. Mongolia was one hell of an adventure! I will be sorting out the lessons learned for years to come. Now in Urumqi China certain internet issues make a longer post difficult. We will be heading out to Kazakhstan in the next few days where we will be back in the mountains and will hopefully be able to get a more thorough update soon. Until then enjoy a few photos of our last days on the Mongol steppe.

Keep on keepin on.....

Much more to come. It has been a whirlwind of a few weeks. As we prepare to leave the urban wastes and make back for the hills I find my self anxious to get back out there. I hope this finds you all well! Remember to go outside and have an adventure this week! You will be better for it!
