Breaking News!
I just got a phone call from Ulaan Baatar.
Garrick and Hayden have arrived safely and are spending their free day searching around town for alternator bearings and breather hoses. Apparently the Beetle is not running very well. Garrick says that he spent most of yesterday's second stage with the throttle to the floor - quite possibly due to the effects of the higher elevation.
They were on their way to an outdoor car parts market when Garrick called. In Ulaan Baatar, there is a part of town where merchants have shipping containers full of car parts that they unpack and display during the day. The merchants then pack up all the parts in the containers for the evening. Team 54 is hoping to find some of the needed parts for improved car performance at this locale. Stay tuned for more breaking news.
