We continue our trek atop the Tibetan/Qinhai plateau in the Qinghai province of western China. A little scenery to help you visualize.
Worst week since mid January (362 miles), but some people are still plugging along pretty well. We are nearly to 20,000 total land miles, which I think will be a pretty sweet accomplishment. Stay motivated, keep having fun, and stay active. We have put in nearly 9 good months, just 3 more to go.

Nepal, back to India, Bhutan, Tibet, and China
We crossed over the Himalayas, and saw tons of cool stuff along the way. I don't have the time to write about any of it, but check out the map and explore some of the Wikipedia links. This area of the world would be near the top of my list for places to visit.
About 950 miles the last 2 weeks, a definite improvement over our train wreck of a week at the end of August. Let's keep it up.

Nepal, the Himalayas, and such
Fewest miles since the week of January 12, things are starting to look bleak. On the bright side, we are meandering around in the Himalaya mountain range in Nepal, visiting the Monkey Temple and fun things like that.

More India
I won't have much time to post over the next month or so, but I will continue to update the mileage chart and map. We are still in India, hanging out near the Dudhwa Tiger Reserve and National Park. You might want to sleep with one eye open.

Indian Subcontinent
We find ourselves in Jalandhar, India after racking up 909 land miles the last two weeks. Some great weeks by Lauren Liaboe, Megan Dabroski, and Robin Hayward (2 weeks ago, that is). Rob completed a half-iron man last weekend, finishing in just under 5:30, so congratulations to him.
The summer vacation is winding down, time for everyone to start refocusing. Keep up that effort, there are still over 4 months to go.
