so.....we're 150 miles into Mongolia, and riding TG up a mountain of rocks, which is not a road, just so we're all on the same page here, but a mountain of rocks, at a huge 50 degree angle, we pushed hard enough to bust our belt.

Steven and I being non-mechanical cracked open the book, and set up camp. we had it all sorted out, when the realization that the crushed radiator would make the replacement impossible, hit us. The belt can't be put on without adjusting the alternator to give it slack, which we can't do since it was wedged against the radiator.

No problem, we'll just get a tow to town, 70 miles southeast and get them to work on it....except we find out he's gone for 5 days. without five days slack in our trip schedule, we're pretty much done.

we're trying to fly into ulan bator, to see the capital, shake some hands, have a beer or two, and make our way back to the states.

I think we did about 7600 and busted through Mongolian ranges.

I'll try to write more if i'm stuck in the capital for any length of time....tons to tell and share, hundreds of stories really.
