2 Wheels 4 Girls

Gotta keep it short.

9th day along the Taklamakan, 4th day along the Southern Silk Road.

The nomads are beginning to move back into their mud homes/huts out here. I can’t imagine what it’s going to be like in a couple of months. At least when I return, the afternoon sun will be to my back, rather than burning my face.

Racing for the border…

Also, yesterday at sunset, I got to ride along about a dozen wild ass…no, not my bootie…donkies. I saw some more today…they are adorable. Last week I was just thinking how I want a few for my “Gentleman’s Farm”. Jason always told me I’m not allowed to have any animals with hooves…but those are the best animals!

Instant Oatmeal, Raisins, and 2 powder packets of milk tea (for my sugar rush).

My cooking skills were dramatically improved after touring with Brandon, a trained chef. I’m still working on getting that rice pudding as good as his.

You can also see by the color of my skin that I got a healthy dose of Vitamin D the other day too.

Good Morning! Time to go, again!

…nice effect from a steamed lens and an orange tent fly.

Strange and excellent cavernous landscape. Xinjiang is not disappointing and it’s getting better and better the further South I go.

-162 Meters.

I have now visited the highest (and in the world) and lowest salt water lakes of China.

For the past 4 days I’ve been camping under the G30 and getting over mountains with a headwind. My face is so chapped and windburned – bad.
