The ground many days was covered in snow, making the task of staying on the right track almost impossible.\u00c2\u00a0 A day did not go by that we were not at least lost for a little while.\u00c2\u00a0 To date however, Bouey and I can both agree that this was hands down one of the most exciting weeks the trip has presented yet.\u00c2\u00a0 Check out the photos&#8230;they do not disappoint.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/theworldbyroad.com\/photos\/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&amp;g2_itemId=8873&amp;g2_GALLERYSID=TMP_SESSION_ID_DI_NOISSES_PMT\" rel=\"lightbox[g2image]\"
