Vance, Bobbi, and Dusty in Kyrgyzstan, Summer 2006

I've lost control of one of my wikis. My wife Bobbi and son Dusty and I made a trip to Kyrgyzstan in the summer of 2006 (Glenn went there as well before we got there but by the time we arrived he had moved on in his travels to Moscow and St. Petersburg). We took pictures and I posted many to a wiki I kept to archive the trip. 

The wiki still exists at http://kyrgyz2006.pbworks.com/ - but maybe not for long. 

I can't find the email address I used to create the wiki, and PBWorks, often helpful, are not replying to my requests for assistance in recovering my access. You get what you pay for, so I deserve what I get I guess, but it's only a matter of time before PBWorks deletes this wiki, which is their policy for wikis left untouched for over a year.

So I downloaded the photos and grabbed the prose and reconstructed that wiki at this blog. I found when doing this that we hadn't completed uploading our photos. We need to see if we can find the originals, and if we do, and as we get time, well ... check back and see :-)

Here is a map of Kyrgyzstan. We spent parts of July and August in the northeast part of the country. We went hiking in the canyons near Bishkek and then traveled around Lake Issyk-Kol to Karakol, where there are mountains excellent for trekking. We spent six days hiking from Jete Oguz to Altyn Arashan and then returned to Balykchy at the west of the lake and went to Kochkor, where we arranged to ride horses to another lake, Son Kol. From there we returned to Bishkek to catch the plane to Dubai and catch public buses back to Abu Dhabi.
