Pakistan Tour 2014 - Tour 2

[Lunch Box]

Thanks, Dennis. It's great to be home.

Here are a few more pics.

Hanging out in Skardu, waiting for fuel. I should note that we played a lot of poker this trip. I would like to personally thank Sam, Sunny, Moin and Zeeshan for helping to fund my trip through their generous poker donations. :teeth

Odd swing set near the K2 museum

A few from Deosai Plains:

Selfie with our host

Jeanette celebrating surviving the challenging ride through the Deosai Plains. 14000 feet + rugged terrain + crappy bikes = a long, fun day.

Sam's bike wasn't looking too good. Three or four crashes in the rocks and dirt had taken their toll

Fortunately, Younas was along to sort it out.

Sometimes, simple tools work the best.

Putting on the finishing touches.

Victory!

Sunny, still sick with the flu, was not feeling quite so victorious.

Sup?

Biker Zeeshan. This is right before he showed why he should stick to driving 4-wheeled vehicles. Amazing driver. Not an amazing rider :laughing

A few more pics from the ride from Astore and Naran:

Moin had 9 or 10 ears of corn. Tasty stuff.

Feel better, Sunny tried to steal the ice cream bicycle. He failed.

Near Murree on the final leg of our ride:

I don't blame Sunny I would have tried to ride away on ice cream bicycle also. Mmmm ice cream.

I can't believe I'm just stumbling across this report. Great pic's Aaron, looks like an amazing trip! I told you it took me about three days to calm my wife down after I mentioned the trip to her :laughing (I never even said I wanted to go).... glad you had fun, and keep the photos coming. :thumbup

Thanks, Eldrick. I am working on a proper ride report and will post it and put a link in this thread in the next day or two. The trip was amazing. You would have thoroughly enjoyed it (though your wife would have had a heart attack, most likely). :laughing

Still working on the pics, vid, and write-up. So much catching-up to do at work, though.

Here is a short vid of Moin showing off his gymnastic skills.

Wow. I'll bet I know exactly what was going through his mind.
"Shit! Truck!.....I got it...I got it.....I got it....Shit!.....I don't got it"
:laughing
That cartwheel at the end was spectacular!
