I was just thinking of going into my account and writing a blog about how things are coming together - we had a plan - White Lake to Khosvgol for 5 weeks.
Then the proverbial shit hit the fan.
We found out we needed a border permit to visit the Northern reaches of our itinerary - which is basically impossible to get because of logistics and time it takes to get this free permit.
I opened up an email from a tour agent that I had contacted and he basically said "Don't do it, it's irresponsible, you will get robbed, you will lose your horses, you will get lost"
And now Kelti and I are kinda freaking out.
Don't worry - we're still going, we just need to rework our route, think about renting horses and maybe even taking a guide. I don't know but we'll be leaving Friday at the latest to start. By then, we'll have gotten our confidence back and will be set to go.

Well, glad you haven't listened to any members of your family or a registered tour guide in Mongolia... I mean that would be crazy. God forbid you get robbed!!! Be safe or I'll send Cole in after you!
