HI guys, Mid 2014 drove from Vlad to Baikal before heading into Mongolia - the Hwy is no problem at all, lumpy in places and lots of long sections of road works with crazy drivers and rocks flying around but no real problems! It's a while ago but it will probably be the same this year as the road deteriorates over the winter freeze and they are always repairing it when it warms up... Mongolia is experiencing an exponential growth of new sealed roads as china pours in money but still has a massive amount of tracks and mildly populated areas which is what we are there for right! I don't see any real problems for your mirage - tracks between the larger villages are generally the more used ones and have a reasonable stream of traffic along them and often they have small Hyundai's and the like so you won't be the only one. There are river crossings here and there but there is usually an acceptable crossing - after all the locals have to move around also. Yep there are lots of trails that are sandy or better traversed in a high clearance vehicle but you can just avoid those areas... If the Mongol rally can get across there I'm sure you will also! Well have a great time - it's an interesting journey...
