3 x KTM GO EAST

perfect road

Hande Hoch! Oberlautnant furer Mirek reisen nach Anadyr!

Suka blat! Killing time! Warrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Very cool motorcycle friendly rivers. First they look deep but you could always find a path going up and down the river which was crossable by bike;

Kamaz drivers. Going to Evgekinot to pickup products. They are doing this ride like 4 times in summer and 20 times in winter; Their biggest problem in summer are rivers. The strange thing about rivers here is called in russian smth like "syphoon". "Sypoon" is this thing that it often happen that most of the water in the river is not what you see, but 60% of the water can go "under water" in the rocks. Thus it is very soft. Sometimes you can walk and have the water to your knees, but when a Kamaz drives into this it will have water to the lights; They are often driving in pairs so one can pull another from water.

"Sypoon"

We have arrived to a Canadian gold mine "KUPOL". Not to the gold mine itslef which was few km south but a "KUPOL" division building winter roads.
As all local drivers were saying the canadian winter roads are a work of art.

A russian winter road is build this way that there is bulldozer going in winter and there is a caravan of cars behind him. When there is more snow the bulldozer goes again and again.

The Canadians start to prepare the surface in summer already. When it gets cold thay sprey water on this so it freezes and they have a perfect surface. Then the snow falls and apparently its working like a highway.

Mirek has some photos from the gold mine itself so I will post later. Its an incredible thing. In the middle of nowhere a big city (for chukokta standards) super hiper equiped like a moon station.

Lot of work to bring all this stuff here;

We thought the Kamaz will catch us but he didnt so our tanks were empty. But in the Kupol station they had a polaris quad so they could give us some fuel so we could continue.

ANy chance of a map showing where you were/are/going?
