Spring Weather in Russia this year (2010)
After a particularly cold and snowy winter, weather reports in Russia are warning of widespread flooding as the snow and ice melts during spring. This could continue on till June in colder areas.

Well, that's good I won't be there for a while then. Probably mid June.
Has it been a big snow year in Tajikistan and Kyrgyz Rep. as well as in Russia?

I've been hearing reports lately all over BBC and US news about the devastation in Mongolia (Ulan Batar region) due to a super cold Winter and how most all the live stock of the people has died off. They've got nothing, no other way to survive. Most have lost about 80% to 90% of their animals and the animals continue to die. Does not look good at all for these folks.
Have you heard much about this?
I'm hoping the International community steps up here to provide some relief.

Thanks Mickey D.
I hadn't heard any of this. (I read the local paper- but I don't watch TV so I guess I missed it.)

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
