- Picnic and camping on the way to Altai Mountain Range (Greg Vernovage)
Charlotte checked in from Mongolia to report that the team did a great job traveling and the doing the duffle shuffle today. After arriving to Bayan Olgii, the team loaded the vans and made their way towards the Park entrance. The team is now settled in for the night after having a nice drive with the company of unseasonable light rain. (Not a bad thing since it keeps the dust down during the drive.)
It is a beautiful cool night and the plan for tomorrow will be to finish the drive to the Park entrance (7,400ft) and trek to Base Camp (10,000ft). Charlotte reports that the team is incredibly strong and having a great start to the trip!
