It rained all night-POURED-and everything was soaked by morning including the tracks. The lads got up before 6am to change out the other set of springs-there was a crack in them ad well. The job took longer than expected.
With the work completed we loaded up and set out through the mud-praying that we would not get stuck! AND...it rained, and rained, and rained AND...the road was slick...and, oh yes, it was COLD!
We left the mountains heading for the plains and blue skies. The clouds began to clear and it warmed up...and then it happened.
Three hours later, lots of digging, and the miracle of a passing truck in the middle of the Gobi who added pull to the dig-and we were out of the hole and back on the road. We drive several more hours to catch up and camped along the road just before sunset. It was a LONG and TIDIOUS day!
