Today we got into the Altai Mountains of Russia - beautiful snow capped peaks and a white/blue river that we followed along the road. It was a very enjoyable ride with twisty turns, bluebird skies and incredible views of the snow capped peaks. We dropped about 5,000 ft. in less than 200 km. At about 2100 ft. The road turned north as the river turned west and we started climbing again whil following a bubbling creek flowing down towards us. It was only about 3pm but we saw a nice spot on the creek and decided this would be our camp for the night. A small village up the road provided had a shop with beer we kept cool in the stream. Plenty of firewood around ensures us of a campfire tonight.
Not sure how cold it will get as we are at 2600 ft. here at camp. Last night in Kosh-Agats it was pretty cold, but at a much higher elevation. Tonight we will enjoy the campfire and soothing sounds of the creek while we sleep.
Our lunch stop.
Nice spot for the tent by the creek.
Starting a fire early - could get cold.
These guys fed us too much vodka!
