「Valley of Dinosaur Wandering in loop at south Gobi」

SS-1 start from bivouac at Zoumod. Leaving the spring of Zoumod to south. Run through the wilderness to valley of DInosaur from the north side. Unusually shaped rocks are interesting. Watch out for oncoming vehicles at narrow valley. Go through a lot of tiny Ovoo and the wilderness to south. There is some wood Ovoo on the way then make a cap change to east at the wilderness. Go across wadi. Small woods on the way. What a mysterious place. Snow leopards, internationally protected animal inhabit around here. This is the first time we are allowed to step into this area for rally. Go east and watch out for oncoming vehicles especially at the area with new electric cables. Across many wadis then finish SS-1. Fuel up at prospering town. Pass by Naadam Stadium to start SS-2. Difficult part with wadi and camber. Go through many wadis to new thick pist. Be careful to ride. Go across thin pist and run with care for cracks and oncoming vehicles. Finish SS-2, fuel up and back to Zoumod.

ETAP-3 is a loop route starting from Zoumod. Returning to Zoumod after a long time is so wonderful and wonderful, everyone is overjoyed. Today we are extending the route with special permission into the nature reserve. I think we will encounter scenery we have never seen before. Please look forward to it...
