Hop on a motorcycle and ride across China. Ride into the West. Out of urban industrialization and into the borderlands. Over packed dirt and concrete to a land still breathing with its own lungs. Bring your friends. If you think you’re dreaming, pay more attention.

Events:
  • We took a 2.5 hour ride to Qiyi Glacier. P and T slept most of the way.
  • Paid 50.2 rmb for entrance to the Glacier, we all thought the .2 was strange.
  • Cool 2 hour hike to the Glacier. On the way down, P and D decided to get closer to the Glacier and T spent some time writing.
