June 27th "Ger Camp" - Bayongol to Jargalant






The km's were hard won today.  We climbed over 500m in elevation from 800m to 1300m and the flies were relentless on the slow uphills.  The weather averaged 38C during the day, which certainly made us sluggish, but we were still able to clock back 50km at least.  We had decided to set up camp when we came to the 50km marker and as our luck would have it we came around a bend at 46km and saw a sign for a Guest Ger Camp 4km up a dirt road in this beautiful setting on the mountainside.  Eerie.  We ended up with this amazing ger all to ourselves that had sine crafted wood furniture and an authentic wood burning stove in the middle of the room - all for 44,000 Togrogs (approx. $34).  Ali and I are also the only guests, which always makes for an interesting time.
