It was a winter wonderland the day we left Novosibirsk.
Todd gets funky under the hood when a funny noise was heard in D2. The noise was a loose bolt.

| Notes: We left Novosibirsk today, really early, in the snow, and then we had to turn around and go back. One hundred and twenty-three kilometers outside of town, we realized we had a loose bolt somewhere in our engine, and we had to go to Land Rover to fix it. They fixed it right away (thanks Max, Slava, Vitaly, and Yank), and we were on our way a little after 3 p.m. That made for a long day, and we drove as far as we could on snowy, icy roads before pulling off at a crappy little hotel. No flushing toilet, no shower, smelly running water, one too few beds for the 5 of us, but all is well. (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.
