Evidence of a devastating monsoon season. We saw hundreds and hundreds of displaced civilians who are now living along the road in temporary makeshift shacks.
| Logbook for Aug 24th, Day 298 | ||
|
Start: Bhagalpur, India Time: 5:30 a.m. N: 25* 15.043 E: 86* 59.328 |

| Notes: The team made the final push to Varinasi today. Despite witnessing even more devastating flood damage than in previous days, the road conditions improved. The team drove all day and encountered periodic bouts of heavy monsoon rains. As we get further into India, the obstacles on the roads increase, and the driving days get harder. (N.O.) | ||
Help support our cause: The LONGITUDE Expedition is the longest journey ever attempted with a focus on Parkinson's Disease. The Drive Around the World team aims to raise money for Parkinson’s Disease research by driving four Certified, Pre-Owned Land Rover Discoverys around the globe following lines of longitude. Readers are encouraged to pledge small amounts of money per expedition-kilometer via a pledge form that can be found on our Parkinson’s page by clicking HERE. One hundred percent of donations received go directly to Parkinson's research, and all who donate $10 or more will be entered into a raffle to win an expedition-equipped Land Rover Discovery.
