New update on Facebook Team Page

Less than 3 weeks until I head to Mongolia! Just purchased my travel insurance through Travel Gaurd (health and plane ticket etc are now covered!), last vaccinations are next week. Heading up to the pharmacy to pick up some antibiotics (anti diarrhea medicine included!) and my typhoid fever vaccination (pill form so no shots). Got my GPS, the Garmin Etrex 20, been testing it out a bit. Found an awesome hydration pack made by Osprey, it carries 3 liters of water, has a magnetic capture for the hydration hose so no flopping around while I'm on the horse. Also, pretty important, got some kick ass smell proof and fast drying underwear from IceBreaker. All that's left is getting some warm base layers and I think I'm good......I think.....temp is back up here about 100 outside, been riding a lot. Heading out again tonight. Starting Mongolian lessons this week via skype thanks to my Mongolian friends Uyanga, Tsogi and Aruk!!
