So after 2 days of riding, Ellen is in Aren Shan. She had a stop over at a little Mongolian Ranch, the night before getting to Aren Shan. The ranch had horses and some camels. Ellen was at first chatting with a few locals and then soon the whole ranch was around her. She even got to ride a horse in the open! How cool is that?! She stayed the night in a concrete yurt and had curious Mongolian faces peeking in to see what she was doing every so often.
But now she is resting in Aren Shan. There are supposed to be some hot springs around there that she will try and find tomorrow. She deserves some R&R for all the hard riding she’s been doing. Along 203, to get to Aren Shan, there had been a lot of construction, which means gravel/pothole roads… It’s been a long 2 days for Ellen in order to get to Aren Shan.
