Kyrgyzstan	Bishkek	N 42.88047°	E 74.59387°	The Silk Road Lodge is mentioned in the LonelyPlanet, is owned by Celestial Mountain Tour. It is a nice establishment at least partially British owned, has a sizeable yard for parking vehicles off the street. And was prepared to allow us to park our vehicle in their yard and live in our vehicle. In the end we took a room to have the advantage of air conditioning and showers.
Kyrgyzstan	Issyk Kul	N 42.59729°	E 76.83517°	After a while we left our lakeside picnic spot and continued down the road until we found a road side parking area where we spent the night.
Kyrgyzstan	Issyk Kul	N 42.74405°	E 78.04720°	A parking lot beside the road.
Kyrgyzstan	Issyk Kul	N 42.17813°	E 77.33405°	Late afternoon we stopped by a small lake just a few hundred meters south of Issyk Kul. Somewhat later we were joined by a Red VW California van from Poland and met Pioir, Daria, and their 9 month old baby Katia. Somewhat later again we were joined by two German cyclists Wolfgang and Daniel. We all sat around chating, sharing stories and drinking beer and wine. The cyclists had had a close shave during the day and Wolfgang showed us one of his saddle bags that had been hit by a passing car but fortunately did not knock him over. Eventually the cyclists moved on and the Aussies and the Poles stayed for the night.
Kyrgyzstan	Beside the A367	N 42.14298°	E 75.33522°	As the afternoon wore on we left the western edge of Issyk Kul and headed out onto the A367 towards the M41. The M41 is the main road from Bishkek to Osh and the A367 will connect with the M41 without us having to retrace our route back through Bishkek. We just pulled off the road into a grassy patch for the night.
Kyrgyzstan	Kyzyl Suu	N 41.97390°	E 74.16733°	Our camp for the night was a flat rock strewn patch of ground on the inside of a curve in the Kekemeren River.
Kyrgyzstan	Somewhere on the M41	N 42.21016°	E 73.14467°	Around 4:00pm after gradually climbing for a while we found a nice pullout at 9200 feet and pulled over for the evening; this seemed like a good "next step" in our altitude acclimatization. We spent the afternoon checking the oil level in that leaking wheel hub, reviewing our food supplies, making a list of what we needed to buy for our coming 15 days in the Parmirs and cooked up a large pot of noodles.
Kyrgyzstan	Kockkor-Ata	N 41.03101°	E 72.53519°	Just past the town of Kochkor-Ata, and its particularly hectic market, we found a large patch of ground on the edge of a corn field and pulled in for the night. We were far enough from the road to feel safe from passing vehicles, but unfortunately close enough to have a night long "serinade by truck".
Kyrgyzstan	Gul'Cha	N 40.24676°	E 73.33938°	In Osh the parking lot we were shown is off Kurnmandzhan-Datka Ulitza south of Abikadirova Prospekt at GPS 40.52059 72.80048. It is near the Hotel Osh and an office of the Drug Police. On the road to Sari-Tash about 10 km before Gul'cha we simply found a place to get off the road.
