We slept tight. Thanks to the yesterday hot springs...Today will be a long ride, we know that and we also plan to do our 1st camping in the desert...We started slowly coming back 40km backward to take the G109 in the order to cross the desert by the south road until Ulumuqi. North road is 23hours, south road is 28 hours. We powaaaa for the 28 hours with small roads, looking for adventure and authenticity.
Believe me we were riding on the moon, landscape the same for KMs and KMs...A real mom ride. Starters favorite spot for their movie...
The ride was super long, most of the time straight line but landscape changing time to time and allow us to stop and take some pictures. It is like no man land, nobody, few cars and some trucks but you really feel alone when you look around you and we crossed fingers thats our bikes does not break.
We expected to drive only 300KM today until one lake for camping but we soon figure out, the spot was not great, so we keep going. We keep going 500+ KM later (6 hours of drive), exhausted but happy to find life and petrol station :). We ended up our day in a small hotel in the lost city called Huatugou (The petrol place) Sinopec branch and they even have a small airport. Amazing in the middle of nowhere.

Hey guys, this is sounding pretty awesome. I hope you had no problems sleeping at altitude yet, and I guess by now you should be getting acclimatised for Pamir as well.
No idea you had a drone, but you were due some weight shedding, so perhaps there is a positive to the loss.
Keep up the stories, drive safe!
