Old Road of Bones in Winter
Hi,
we'll drive Yakutsk - Magadan end of February in a relatively weak 4x4 (old ML 320). According to some of the very good information on the HUBB, the new Northern Route of the Kolyma Highway M56 shouldn't be a major problem.
However, I understand the "real" or "old" Road of Bones (Southern Route) is now unkept/abandoned. Of course we would love to visit the Pole of Cold at Tomtor / Oymyakon there.
Question: Is the "old" Road of Bones completely unused in winter? Could we hook up with locals (trucks) to make it through the old road to Magadan in a convoy? Or can we only go in-and-out to Oymyakon, but not straight through?
