Columbo
"Columbo" interrogates villagers during our day of searching for our lost bike and tire. Total loss? More than $4,000... There's a reward offered, so maybe it'll turn up.
| Logbook for Oct. 2nd, Day 337 | ||
|
Start: Tashikurgan, China Time: p.m. N: 37* 45.998 E: 75* 13.617 |
Finish: Kashgar, China Time: p.m. N: 39* 28.242 E: 075* 58.027 | Mileage: N/A (by taxi) |
| Notes: The gang went to customs at noon to finish checking out. Taxis were hired to take the team to Kashgar, to the east. Nancy and Todd stayed behind, and the local police helped get D3 out of customs so that they and the cops could go look for the bike. It was a great day of Columbo-style mystery solving, and althought he bike/tire were never found, they still have much hope. They celebrated new friendships over dinner and drinks in Tashikurgan, with all members of the search party hopeful that the bike will eventurally turn up (now that everybody knows there is an award being offered). The rest of the team made it to Kashgar and is waiting at the Seman Hotel there. (N.O.) | ||
