During our first week at camp we had a lot of time to get to know our surroundings.
We settled into the gers that would be our homes for the next several weeks,
hung out in the field station,
enjoyed the scenery,
and spent some time visiting with the neighbors. Char started teaching daily english lessons in the field station...
...and we began to venture out onto, and into the river. We quickly learned that clothes and gear dried in the sun during the day would not be quite so warm and toasty come morning...
...such as our snorkeling gear which we used to float down the river (in drysuits) and spy on the fishes. We also spent a couple of days floating the upper Eg River and fishing for taimen from our raft (more on the fishing later).
After coming off the river in the dark on the second day we were feeling rather cold. Sogo had brought along some milk vodka which we had yet to try.
It's kind of like 60 proof blue cheese,and as you can tell by Jon's face, it takes some getting used to. Brant had tried it before, and seemed to put it down well. Sogo, well he grew up on the stuff. It does warm a person up though.
