August 7 (day 26): slowly emerging from nowhere

Just a quick roadside blog update for you. We are now near a town called Naranbulag (specifically we are at N 49deg 21.804min E92deg 33.600min). When Anna and Tyler posted for us we were actually quite near Sogino (it was a rushed satellite phone call).

Yesterday we stayed at a soviet built lakeside resort by Hyargas Nuur. There was a Veterinary conference there at the time. But don't get the wrong idea, there were no showers, flush toilets or anything like that. The conference was ending and we enjoyed some vodka at the beach with the vets to celebrate. Mark my words: Mongolia is an up and coming sun & beach destination!

Full blog update with more stories, pictures and maps coming in about a week.

August 2 (Day 22): somewhere between Tosontsengel and Sogino

(Guest Contributers: Anna and Tyler)

Yesterday (Aug 2) we received an update from Chris and Krystil. They
asked us to relay that they are doing fine but are now way off-the-grid
so the blog posts won't happen for a week or two.

They have left Tosontsengel and are now heading for Songino, then
Naranbulag (near Hyargas Nuur), and then on to Olgii, where they will
likely start posting again.
