| Logbook for Oct. 18th, Day 353 | ||
|
Start: Urumqi, China Time: 7:01 p.m. N: 43* 46.774 E: 087* 35.761 |
Finish: Jinghe, China Time: 2:54 a.m. N: 44* 36.185 E: 082* 53.161 | Mileage: 269 |
| Notes: We left Urumqi behind us to head toward the border. It was a quiet, uneventful drive, punctuated only by a stop for dinner. We pushed quite far before calling it a night. Road was bad for about 175 km due to construction and detours. (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.
