24-Jun-2006 -- 这个点位于北京越野爱好者心目中的天堂--浑善达克沙地的腹地，距离任何一条公路的直线距离都在60公里以上。

6.24一早，我们从张北出发，于前一天晚上住在太仆寺旗的高师傅汇合。碰头之后，才知道他老人家昨天晚上连夜赶路，误入了超级越野山路，翻越大陡坡，走错路，下大雨，直到凌晨六点钟才到。

在太仆寺旗首府宝昌采购了大批腐败物资，一路向北，奔向北纬43度线。在桑根达来加油，午餐，之后杀向那日图。地图上显示，通往那日图的是一条省道，但实际上下了国道，就已经是非铺装路面了。道路还不错，虽然只有一条车辙，但沙子并不厚，两驱已经足够应付了。路上风景很好，一路追着雨云在跑。到扎格斯台，遇到两片很大的湖水。

距离目标点还有10公里直线距离的时候，路面开始堆积着厚厚的沙子，没过多久，道路被铁丝网封闭了。原路返回道勒钦，问路，被告知南北都可以走，北边绕一些，路好；南边近，但道路不好。选择近路走，反正大家都是来玩沙子的，不怕路不好。天色差不多了，扎营腐败。晚霞非常漂亮

6.25日早晨五点天刚亮，苍狼，童童，笨笨三个人出发去找点，其他人还在呼呼大睡。10公里的直线距离，分外艰辛。草原上的路绕来绕去，给导航带来了很大的挑战。沙漠路段也开始多了起来，很多地方需要挂四驱。童童小心翼翼的驾驶着，因为只有一个车，万一陷车了等队友来救需要花很多时间。从地图上看，我们进入了一个湖区，积水也开始多起来了。终于在一个大水塘的面前，我们不敢继续冲了。正好一个当地人过水塘，我们咨询了一下，前面的水塘还很多，单车困难。于是绕路回去，走另外的道路，这次走到一个废弃的路线上，车子差点陷进去，折腾了几次倒了出来，再找其他的路。

终于在距离目标点1.2公里的附近，有一处比较硬实的停车地点，前面看着很像是沼泽了，道路也拐向了另外的方向。就是他了，拿上GPS，安步当车，开始徒步。多次的找点，已经训练出了在旷野上估算距离的能力，翻过几个沙丘，目标点就在几颗大树的边上了，与预估的距离相差不到100米，欣慰。

目标点是一处典型的浑善达克地貌，沙子很厚，但草也不少。这是我们迄今为止到达的距离公路最远的交汇点，此时车辆已经下路行驶了超过100公里了。

24-Jun-2006 -- 43N 115E is in the center of Hun Shan Da Ke desert, which is about 600km from Beijing, and it's more than 60km from any highway. This desert is a heaven for all jeep lover in Beijing.
