Day 4: Altanshiree to Ulaan Baatar
Breaking camp
We are up by 5:30 and met with a brigh clear day . LAst nights windstorm that blew out tent away has subsided and we are met with some local nomads / tribesmen that make themselves at home by wandering into our camp and picking over the cars and gear. They seem intensely curious about the cars and how they work. Some try and climb inside or get under the hood.
Breakfast- the morning after
Gary, Jenny and me all congratulating John and Gary on making it in before midnight last night.
