Fuso FG as expedition vehicle

[haven]

The Fuso FG is a good choice for overland travel
when you're carrying a decent size camper

The photo shows Kim and Lynn Bolton fording a river in Siberia
a few days ago as they travel the Road of Bones. For more, see
their blog

this photo.

river bank climbing..

That pic looks like the same location the the bikers and support vehicles in the movie, "Long Way Around" were having the same trouble. As you remember, a great Russian (Kamaz?) truck had no trouble with that bank, both hauling and towing vehicles..same one?

same one?

Same road, but not the same river.

more action

Here's more action from Siberia

In Siberia, driving to the next town is like participating
in a section of the Camel Trophy.

The log bridges across the fast-running streams are
regularly washed out. You can see the remains of
previous bridges down in the ditch in the photo above.
So new bridges are built using materials from the
surrounding forest.

I have a new appreciation for small "backup" TV cameras
that show where the front wheels are pointed.
