Great Outdoors

One of our visit highlights was camping in the Mongolian countryside... especially because we had trees! Speaking of trees, here is the infamous "dead stump" of a tree that broke Zeke's arm. Don't ask me what he was thinking! But no worries this trip, except for the lightning storm in the middle of the night... I think my sleeping bag was the only one that got wet.

Building bridges across the stream, watching the herds of horses go by, looking for caves, telling stories, a few smores and lots of coffee! Not to mention solitude... except for the 300 year-old Tibetan Buddhist temple across the valley. Not all that easy to get to (a few mts. and rivers to cross) but definitely worth the trip!

This is just beautiful. I can't believe the difference in terrain.
