Abe is in Khabarovsk--but it was rough getting there and he is pretty tired. After I talked to him last, the mountains got worse, and the roads were bad for bicycles. Not really paved, just tar and gravel poured over, and most of it pretty rough stuff, so he had a flat, and his spare wasn't all that solid so he moved all his bags from the back of the bike to the front to make it as light as possible and then rode slowly, and made it, eventually.
So, he will be in Khabarovsk Sunday and then Monday will try to get his registration with the police, and another tire, and hopes to be on his way again Tuesday, Lord willing. I think he has about a 3 days ride until he reaches one of our training center directors. He will stay with them for several days and then hit the last stretch. It will be quite mountainous again and the roads that direction are....MMM....shall we say, not good.
He sounded weary. He's staying at an empty Bible school, there's no hot water. He hadn't eaten well the last couple days so his system is upset. But, I'm sure a couple days rest will put all to rights again.
