Mongolia	Darkhan	N 49.11184°	E 106.03564°	Our nights camping place was simply a place on the grass about 20 yards off the road. We had a couple of sets of visitors during the remaining daylight hours but they were only people curious about the vehicle.
Mongolia	Ulaanbaatar	N 47.91154°	E 106.98118°	We eventually found our way to the GPS coordinates of the Oasis and even sighted the place. But thick traffic and road construction appeared to have closed the only access road we could see. So with no other obvious options available I simply turned off the paved road across the construction site and into the lane that appeared to give access to the hostel. With the help of the manageress (Sibel) and the cooperation of other guests, vehicles were shuffled around so that our "monster" could be accommodated.
Mongolia	Ulanbaatar	N 47.91364°	E 106.91275°	With the truck now parked at the drilling company facility we needed a new place to stay. Fortunately the guys that helped Mike organize his trip (Chinzo and Turuu of drivemongolia.com) introduced us to a well located (just behind the Irish Pub in downtown UB) and newly established hostel called Chuca's Guesthouse (Chuca is Turuu's wife so it was all in the family).
Mongolia	Lun	N 47.78853°	E 105.13405°	Finding a camp for the night was simply a matter of pulling off the road onto a patch of the infinite sea of grass and getting far enough from the road that noone could hit us. Across the road from us a family in a Ger (Mongolian felt house) was tending to a large herd/flock of animals (mixture of goats, sheep, and horses).
Mongolia	Somewhere	N 47.28775°	E 103.25745°	Our camp for the night was simply another exercise in pulling off the road far enough not to be a target for the fast traveling Mongolians.
Mongolia	(Near) Tsenkher Hot Springs	N 47.31929°	E 101.73789°	We camped the night just beside the track with a couple of herds of horses about 5 km from the hot springs.
Mongolia	Tsetseleg	N 47.43829°	E 101.49205°	Once back on the highway we continued into Tsetseleg and the FAIRfield Guesthouse (N47.47852 E101.45769). We think we got the coordinates for this place from Chris and Ann. The place is owned by Murray Benn and offered us the use of their facilities (obviously for a small price) but suggested we camp 5 km out of town down by the river (a safer and more pleasant option than parking infront of their establishment).
Mongolia	Tariat	N 48.13439°	E 99.86575°	By late afternoon we drove through the small village of Tariat and were only about 10 kilometers from Terkhiin Tsaagan Nuur (also known as White Lake). We continued a little past the village and simply stopped on a likely grassy spot beside the Suman River (which empties the lake). Throughout the remainder of the evening we were passed by up to 100 vehicles coming and going across the rough roadbed or those wheel tracks in the grass. The vehicles ranged from small Japanese cars to low loaders carrying earthmoving equipment. Despite the extremely rough nature of the road it truly was a highway. While waiting for the sun to set and night to arrive we amused ourselves watching the antics of the various animal herds and their herdsmen.
Mongolia	Chulutt Gorge	N 48.13405°	E 100.27263°	We camped for the night next to the Chuluut Gorge in a beautiful stand of old Larch Trees.
Mongolia	Khanui River	N 48.38974°	E 101.24196°	Late in the afternoon as the valley narrowed and the road passed close by the Khanui River we found a flat spot on the bank only a few yards from the river. Ahead we could see tomorrows route, climb out of the river valley and head north east.
Mongolia	Selenge River	N 49.25491°	E 100.80035°	Once off the ferry we drove a few hundred meters south along the river in a stand of Cottonwood trees and parked for the night.
Mongolia	Atsimag Nuur	N 49.65986°	E 100.49463°	About 25 km short of Moron (according to our GPS) we came upon Atsimag Nuur and decided to camp for the night on the flat gravel shore of this modest sized lake. We had only been stopped for a few minutes when we noticed a sulphur like smell and on investigation we discovered that Atsimag was one of the salty lakes we had read about, and the smell was from the salt encrusted edged of the lake.
Mongolia	Moron	N 49.65093°	E 100.16707°	From the LonelyPlanet Guide we had the name and GPS coordinates of Bata Guesthouse and after a little negotiating of closed streets (a work crew was putting in water lines) we found the place on the northern perimeter of the town. As described in the guide the place was simply a hashaa (a yard surrounded by a fence and with either one or more wooden buldings and/or a couple of gers). After a sign language discussion with the lady who seemed to be in charge the gate was opened and I managed to squeeze the truck through the gate. There is probably space here for 2 or 3 Toyotas, or one other car in addition to our truck.
Mongolia	Khovsgol Nuur	N 50.48326°	E 100.16141°	Hence we did not explore this trail very far before finding a flat spot close to the lake, but still on the track for our nights camp.
MOngolia	Moron	N 49.65093°	E 100.16707°	We camped the two nights parked in Bata's Guesthouse. This time around we had the company of other tourists. A Canadia, a couple of Taiwanese girls, and Tom a guy from the Olympic Penninsula working on his PhD studying Mongolian forests.
Mongolia	Delgermoron River	N 49.57504°	E 99.42136°	After collecting water we moved a few hunderd meters down the road to a flat open grassed area beside the river and made it our camp for the night.
Mongolia	KM 153	N 49.50227°	E 98.35660°	Late in the afternoon just after rejoining the track that went through Tsaagan Uul we stopped for the night, simply by pulling off the track onto a flat patch of grass. During the afternoon we were visited by one passing vehicle but we did not understand what they asked, and during the night we were passed by a couple of mini-buses.
Mongolia	KM 245	N 49.48290°	E 97.34587°	We followed the Tesiin River for much of the remainder of the day. Finally departing the river the road climbed a small pass to a large Ovoo. We found a flat spot up the hill above the Ovoo for our nights camp. During the afternoon 3 or 4 cars passed us and a young man from a Ger camp in the Tesiin Valley came up to see us and satisfy his curiosity.
Mongolia	KM 317	N 49.64777°	E 96.52384°	We stopped for the night about 15 km short of the town of Bayantes and decided to use the gentle breeze and bright sun to our advantage and do our washing (or at least Nina did our washing - my only contribution was the clothes line, and hanging out the washed clothes).
Mongolia	KM 428	N 49.75052°	E 95.14758°	After our target of 110km for the day was reached we camped on the grass in a wide valley. Interestingly the valley we chose for camping is the first time we have seen large scale cultivation since our first day in Mongolia. Large tracts of this valley have been plowed.
Mongolia	KM 549	N 49.91798°	E 93.26729°	Again we chose a flat bit of grass a few hundred yards off the track and a few km west of the village Zuungovi. And again one of the local herders dropped by to see who we were and what we were doing.
Mongolia	Uvs Nuur	N 49.98928°	E 92.70552°	To get to the shore of Uvs Nuur we had to drive a few kms across untracked sand and grass but eventually we found a nice camping spot right on the lake shore. Contrary to the advice we found in the Lonely Planet guide the edge of the lake was not muddy/swampy and there were no mosquitoes to greet us.
Mongolia	South of Ulaangom	N 49.62445°	E 92.07304°	Late in the afternoon we pulled off the road a good distance and settled in for the days camp. We had a couple of visitors late in the afternoon curious about who we were and what we were doing.
Mongolia	Khar-Us Nuur	N 49.11928°	E 91.96563°	Eventually we started to pack up and get ready to move our camp a few km down the lake. This seemed to be the only way we could get our visitor to bid farewell and return to his ger.
Mongolia	Khovd	N 48.08218°	E 91.61549°	After our shopping experiences we headed out of town to the west along the road to Olgii and found a spot to camp in a small valley beside the road.
Mongolia	Churgin Guur	N 48.34855°	E 91.30003°	At about the 50 km mark the road took a big detour north to a newish bridge across a river called the Churgin Nuur. With a water supply and nice hot sun we decided to make this another washing afternoon. So that's how we spent the middle of the afternoon.
Mongolia	Tolbo Nuur	N 48.51295°	E 90.17018°	More kilometers and more bad roads brought us to the shores of Tolbo Nuur a lake about 60km south of Olgii where we spent the afternoon and night.
Mongolia	Olgii	N 48.96260°	E 89.96183°	After some looking we found the Travelers Guesthouse, a compound with 4 gers, a house and a few out buildings and (just) enough space for our vehicle. The place has wifi, reasonable showers, pit toilets and the lady that runs the place is helpful and speaks good English and will do the laundry for a price.
Mongolia	Olgii	N 49.60616°	E 89.46568°	While Nina handed out sweets to the hord of local kids I contemplated what to do for our nights accomodation. I happened to spot a "hotel" with a large fenced yard and noticed that a lady in a blue hat seemed to belong to that hotel. So after a brief sign-language discussion I was helping her open the gate and then squeezing the truck through the gate into the yard. We spent the remainder of the evening watching the antics of the local people, the many truck drivers that had arrived (with their loaded vehicles) from Russia and the many recalcitrant yaks and their frustrated owners.
