Transmongolia - Part Five: The Finish Line

The Mongol Rally isn't a race, at least not in the official and common sense. There are no prizes for first place except bragging rights. More than anything, it's about who makes it to the finish line and who doesn't. It's about arriving at the finish line and scanning a large wall-sized poster that lists who has retired [RET] and who has completed the journey in their original automobile, no matter the condition.
After crossing through the fabled Mongolia Steppe, our team finally reached the end of their 10,000 mile long journey. Emotions ran high; we experienced excitement at the thought of being stationary for a long period of time and trepidation over knowing that everyone would be heading separate ways in just a matter of days. We had made it to Ulaanbaatar, victors of the Mongol Rally.
