L:18.41km SS-1:191.40km L:5.74km SS-2:206.83km L:76.67km TOTAL：499.05km

「Heading down to Zoumod, an isolated area of south Gobi」

SS-1 start from Olziyt, 18km ahead from Bayanhongor. Many junctions at first. Ground is parched. You may pass some of wadi. This area has heavy traffic due to underground resources development in recent years. Watch out for oncoming vehicles. Be careful not to lose your sight when you overtake a vehicle. SS-1 finish when the town come into view. Fuel up and SS-2 start toward west, then west. Mount Bogd Uul is on your right hand. Rainwater from the mountain shaved off the ground surface, that is why there are many cracks. After finishing SS-2, move on to small town, Shinejinst. Fuel up there. On the way to bivouac there is a highway like pist towards the mine. Get off a pist on the way, another pist goes just as it used to be. Go south and south, Zoumod is there. X-1 camion and mechanical service are ready. Enjoy your time under the shade of Euphrates Poplar trees.

The campsite on the second day was Zoumod. Under the poplar trees... This is the scenery of Rally Mongolia. Unlike staying in a hotel, it offers a deep interaction. This is the worldview that SSER aimed for. That classic, rich time.
