Day 16: The Road to Chita, Camp Awesome

We left Camp Awful at first light, but not before we had a little mishap. We couldn't turn the bikes around at camp, so we ended up driving a bit further up the "trail" to turn around. Cory got his bike down a hill, and ended up in a swamp. 950 lbs Motorbike in a swamp is no fun. So we've just had the worst night yet, and we begin the next day by spending 30 minutes extracting his bike from the bug infested swamp.

Blah.

We finally got on the road, such as it was, and did another average day of 392 miles. We had some rain today again (we've had more than our share for this time of year), which makes the unpaved sections not much fun.

Once again, at the end of the day, we started looking for a place to camp, and our luck had changed, we found a lake, with sand, and wonderful warm water we could swim at.

It was 180 degrees from the night before, and it really lifted our spirits (The sand and the lake did) :)

Today: 392 KM
