	Figure A3. Kara Sai. View looking south, taken from the same spot as figure A2. We are leaving the good road, so Kolya is switching to four wheel drive.
	Figure A4. Kara Sai. The crew at the junction. From left: Kolya, Ilya, and Nick.
	Figure A5. Kara Sai. Oops, what happened to the road? This is on our way to the final pass, and a combination of late spring snow and warm temperatures make the road an icy stream. Nick is breaking the ice with a crowbar.
	Figure A6. Kara Sai. This begins a series of recon photos. Nick is standing at "site 1", located SW of the border guard post.
	Figure A7. Kara Sai. The view to the west, slightly downhill from Figure A6.
	Figure A8. Kara Sai. "Site 2", located a bit to the northwest of site 1.

	Figure A10. Kara Sai. Series of panoramic photos of the preferred site, located to the southeast of the guard station. This view is looking approximately east over the ridge.

	Figure A20. Kara Sai. The road ahead.
	Figure A21. Kara Sai. The crew, thinking about how to drive on this road.
	Figure A22. Road to Kadji Sai. A brilliant place to stop for a late lunch. Nice waterfall and noone but a few sheep around.
	Figure A23. Road to Kadji Sai. Yours truly getting lunch together.
	Figure A24. Road to Kadji Sai. The waterfall up the valley.
	Figure A25. Road to Kadji Sai. Waterfall again. Look near the center and you will see Steve and Nick on the ice in the middle of the stream.
	Figure B1. Road to Kadji Sai. Sunset over Issyk Kul. The camera just couldn't manage all the colors. There was a brilliant sun (left) and heavy rain (right) at the same time. Better in person, I'm afraid!
