After a gorgeous sunrise, we're off for another long day of driving to the north. The originally plan was to drive to another lake nearby but the ger camp we stopped at didn't have any room for us...off to another camp. We stopped for lunch at another ger camp but we decided not to stay there for the night as it didn't look very sanitary. We asked Hogy if Demchig could drive further today and possibly camp near the Tes River. After a long afternoon drive, we couldn't find a ger camp that could accommodate all of us and it was getting dark. We ended up driving further to a small town, Tes, but the family Demchig knew didn't have any space for us too. Demchig's friend found us an 'empty' ger just outside the town; however, couple of guys on horseback showed up to sleep in the ger late evening - we're told they've been asked to watch the herd and stay in the ger by the owners. Things got a bit awkward and crowded as we ended up sharing the tent with them. Demchig was in town, presumably with his friend, and Hogy was again stressed as she desperately tried to reach Demchig. No answer...
