| Notes: Long drive today over REALLY icy roads. Nick had a spinout, but all is well. Stopped a few times for coffee and borsch. This is difficult driving, and it's making our team of 5 (Nick, Todd, Adam, Nancy, Roma) really tight. Pushed all the way in to Irkutsk, searched fruitlessly for a hotel, and ended up staying in our cars in a parking lot. Brrr. It's cold... (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.
