lived a simple life. He still had a solar panel and a
satellite dish though. So much for isolation.

Pitstop. Dalanzadgad, Aug 2009

A riderless bike in the south Gobi where we stopped to

and goats, and also stocking up on supplies.

by simply digging under the Gobi sand with our hands.

The winning horses approaching the line in the mini-Nadaam
festival near Bayanzag. And yes, they are children riding them
- adults are disqualified. They do the wrestling instead.
