GMan, several of the pix of the cars were taken through the side mirror of the photographer's car. That's why they are inverted.
Chateau d If:
Ulan Bator, The Monastery of the Living Buddha
--- Quote ---It was moved often to various places along the Selenga, Orhon and Tuul rivers until reaching its present location in the late 18th century, on the high road from Peking to Kiakhta (Kiachta), about 700 m. N.W. of Peking and 165 m. S. of the trading town of Kiakhta on the Russian frontier. It is the holy city of the Mongols and the residence of the " Living Buddha," metropolitan of the Kalka tribes, who ranks third in degree of veneration among the dignitaries of the Lamaist Church. This " resplendently divine lama " resides in a sacred quarter on the western side of the town, and acts as the spiritual colleague of the Chinese amban. It prospered in the 1860s as a commercial center on the tea route between Russia and China (early 20th century trade was valued at over 1,000,000 ?dollar a year) and was the seat of the Qing amban (highest imperial official) in Mongolia, who controled all temporal matters, and was specially charged with the control of the frontier trade town of Kiakhta and its trade with Russia.

Please help and forgive my ignorance!!! :-[
I dont quite understand. The race started in Seattle and is traveling from west to east. Correct?
From what I have read, the sightings have been first in Mongolia, Then in New Zeland, and then in Kuwait. I really dont get it. I have been looking at maps, and dont understand how they go to Mongalia and then all the back to New Zeland and then all the way to Kuwait. It does not add up.
WHat do you guys think?
