Arrival in Yakutsk - Siberia, Russia
 

After the most harrowing gawd awful roads and two weeks of mosquitoes we have made it 1200 miles further from Magadan and now are in Yakutsk - 1/2 way through our third leg of the trip.

I hope we never see roads like those again. Our Dakars held up mostly though apart from losing bolts and other small things due to the constant bumping of the roads (when there was one)

This is the road I was meaning; Road of Bones. We watched a documentary last night called "Dangerous Roads" They did Yakutz to Magadan but in winter and in four wheel drives. It included a fairly hairy bridge!
