Finish: Scoborodino, Russia Time: 10:20 a.m N: 53* 58.550 E: 123* 55.540 |
Finish: Neryungri, Russia Time: 1:30 a.m N: 56* 40.032 E: 124* 43.509 | Mileage: 237 |
| Notes: All went well heading out of town, except that the 1100 km to Yakutsk was double what we expected. Roads slick with snow and ice. Slow-going much of hte way. At Zolotinka, D1 broke a drive shaft, and locals welcomed us into their warm fire station, where their mechanic helped fix the vehicle. These guys were awesome. After several hours with our new firehouse friends, we drove 60 km down the road to the nearest hotel and slept hard. (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.
