My hot rock last night was a lava rock, so it held its head pretty well. But it also wasn’t as cold as the night before. The horses were much calmer today, so that was great. At least until after lunch. We went pretty far today. I left my phone on by accident (we had […]
It was cold waking up this morning but not terrible. We had a great breakfast and hiked up a ~1600m mountain while the herdsmen got the yaks and horses ready. Suddenly, my hot rock idea is pretty popular! Susan and the older Korean had a little trouble with the climb but they found some pinecones […]
It is cold this morning! Our dung fire burnt out in the night, which was fine for sleeping, but there was a definite chill when we got up. My guess was low 50s but now that the sun is coming up it has been steadily warming. Parts of this trip remind me of Afghanistan, but […]
This morning we bade goodbye to the camp staff and headed what I think ended up being northwest. We drove for 8 hours, so I’m not really sure where we are exactly. Hopefully I can find a map and figure it out. Peter scored more points in my book today by being a big Stan […]
We are heading out of the city and into the country today. There was a little bit of confusion this morning with the baggage. Apparently there isn’t room to take everything with us, so we had to reconsolidate into a daypack and a small bag – which I didn’t bring. Thankfully my roomie Susan came to […]
Finally made it to Mongolia. I’ve cat-napped a little on the journey but nothing substantial. Ready for sleep. I couldn’t believe some of the turbulence we encountered. A bit intense at times. Flying into Ulaanbaatar, I was sitting next to a little Korean lady who barely spoke English, and definitely couldn’t read it. Which is […]
I’m very excited to reveal the cover for my first book! The publication process has been an interesting one, and this might have been the most intimidating part so far. I hope to have the book out within the next 30-45 days. But back to the cover, isn’t it awesome?
The following is transcribed from the journal I kept while in Mongolia on my first-ever solo vacation. This trip was the genesis for Briga’s story. The adventure begins. I’m on my way to Mongolia for my first ever solo vacation. Random destination, I know, but go big or go home, right? I’m about 10 hours […]
Welcome to my page! I started this page in another format during the writing process for my first book. I never had any plans to publish, but over time and at the urging of my beta readers, I started to pursue publishing for real. As I’m nearing release of my first book, the first in […]
