The scenery is epic. And after Chaek Chinese work crews and camps line the road building a new massive highway. There are mines close buy. What they mine I do not know. But I guess the Chinese want whatever is in them and are prepared to build a massive new road to ease connectivity. A year or two from now this ride will be much easier! However for now I still bounce along a gravel road.
After two punctures and a certain amount of swearing I reach Kyzyl Oy. A pretty little village next to a river, and a bit warmer than the previous evening as I have dropped a few hundred meters. The village has a few homestays and I bump into some French tourists who have hired a 4wd to take themselves the way that I have just come. I figure that perhaps they are smarter than me!
Bumpy but beautiful.

Trust me, you are the smartest one. You did it your way!
