Sorry for the delay in finishing this series.   I was preoccupied spending the summer in the United States of America with the little Stockdales.

Stage 2 was referred to as ‘Mars in the Gobi’ and was about a marathon or so in length.  The pictures will test most of the story.

This wasn’t the most difficult stage, but it also wasn’t easy.  It was just walking for hours on end with 20+ pounds  (metric for 10 kilograms) of random stuff on your back through the heat of the desert.
