We left "Semi" after working on Petar's cooling system on his bike the night before. After only 10 km out of town, he noticed that coolant was spewing out of his radiator, and realized that his radiator cap was not sealing. Cory and Petar made a rubber washer to shove in, and it seemed to seal the leak. The road was not good, with excellent paved sections broken up with huge potholes. You had to be extra careful riding, as you could suddenly find yourself in a huge hole.
We pulled off the road, and camped in a field, where we thought no one could see us. Within about 20 minutes a Lada drove right up to our camp, and a guy got out and offered us an "arbuse" or watermelon. He was very friendly. We enjoyed the watermelon, had some supper and went to bed. I had cell service in my tent (!) so I texted a few friends who got a kick out of the fact we were having a conversation from the middle of a field in Kazakhstan
