The Boys had restless night with the wind, rain, smell, they were up early and walked up to the community hall for a Mongolian breakfast in Dining Hall, where they were served a delicious set of bread, beef soup, then boiled beef and onions!!! 

Dadal's Dinged!

 

At breakfast Sinhee broke the bad news that the never-ending rain has washed out the bridge to the birthplace of Chinggis, Dadal, so the objective for the day had been switched to Binder, which as historically significant location associated with the origins of the Mongolian nation and the childhood home of that Temujin guy.

After the overfilling breakfast, the four belched the boiled beef and onions down the hill to Baatar's SUV to start their journey to Binder, and to Mike and Bone's surprise, quite a ride!

 

First Steppe Forward!!

Mike and Bone Bobble Heads!

One of the first thing that Mike and Bone learned on day four was Mongolian roads, or better still the utter lack of roads! Baatar to the Boys surprise left the camp enroute to Binder, and did not get back on the freeway but headed off straight across the Mongolian Steppe!

Without using any GPS, Baatar just drove out on the wide open prairie "navigating" only by memory and familiar landmarks!!!  

 

Mike and Bone Bobble Heads!

Now trekking across the Steppe seems very cool, but between the massive rains, and the rocky terrain driving at 55 mph Bataar had his SUV bucking like a bronco!

 

Barreling to Binder!

 

 

"Ger, it was a Hot and Buggy Nite!!
