2019-09-29 Day 367 Sun


The front thermometer was sitting on -3.5℃ while the aft one read 1℃. The grass was all frosted outside so we agreed with the -3.5℃ gauge.
Our water taps had been drained last night and we had water for a shower.


Leaving around 09:40 for another potential long day. 

 



The over burden for a mine. The hole must be amazing. 






By the time we stopped for lunch, to cook dinner and to use good internet we had already achieved 170 km.
The roads were good ,not fantastic and we happily sat around 90km/hr, the speed limit.
The road up through the Urals was very busy but quite pretty with the fir/birch mixture. The birch are all changing into their autumn clothes which sets off their white bark.

We got above the recently fallen (yesterday?) snow line but none was on the road. At one point we did receive a smattering of snow on the windshield but only for a moment.
An overcast day but no rain.
 

Took a while to find a camp the river was too drab all brown from the recent rains. 


 




Found an old track up to a quarry and perched in a clearing that had been cut maybe for hay?? Not very good fodder though.
