Leaving ferry and on to Road of Bones
Arriving on land.
All the bikes on the ferry leaving Yakutsk and heading to the Road of Bones which is directly on land once ferry ride ends
Tour group leader, Mick MacDonald, on left and Leo, tour group employee, on right. Is this the Compass stance???? Perhaps, "great minds think alike"!!!!! On the ferry, leaving to Yakutsk and what joins the Road of Bones.
My right boot is duck taped as the sole was coming apart and there was a hole in the bottom of it. Everything can be fixed with duck tape (isn't that from Foxworthy's redneck CD). It still was cold when it was wet. I eventually threw them away at the side of the road and Mick T. let me use another pair of boots he had. Even though I was the most overpacked person, I didn't pack extra boots. The group would agree "thank God for that!!!"
The city of Yakutsk on our way out (Joe in back, Mick T. in front of him, myself on left and Murray's red helmet in front with Patrick's silver helmet in front of him and blue/grey BMW coat
Joe, Pat, Photographer from Yakutsk, Mick Mac, Murray and myself just before leaving our hotel in Yakutsk

The last leg of our trip was from Yakutsk onto the "Road of Bones". Above are pictures that tell the story of our final leg/adventure. The whole trip there was the "BIG QUESTION", "IS THE ROAD OF BONES PAVED OR UNPAVED?" One fellow on our trip said that he heard from another tour company that it was 65 % paved. Others had heard that it was entirely paved and the distance was approx 2100 kms. The pics I'm showing here are leaving Yakutsk and the ferry ride. The Road then becomes the Road of Bones until Magadan which you can judge for yourself about the road conditions. I will say though that one of our guys lost the back shock on one of Compass' bikes and the fork seals (fork seals went on most of the bikes) as well as a couple of the bikes had dented rims.
