Notes: Paved road ran out and turned into a very new, wide, gravel road. Gravel was better than the pavement, and we made 100 km/h. Scenery reminiscent of NoCal. Cattle, horses, fields, trees. Had a gerry-can refuel just before dark. Also had some really good borsch just before that. Life is good. Tiring, but good. (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.
