Ukraine, Russian Police and the Kazakh Border!

Hello again all!I dont have much time as I am using the computer at the reception desk in a hotel I am not staying in, but Team Ironsides has made it to Kazakhstan!!  We crossed the border this morning, our convoy having grown to 5 cars.  There are many many stories involving Russian police pull overs, statues, and me leading about 14 guys from Russia into Kazakhstan in my little Fiat.  We are not giving up any time soon and are hoping to make it all the way to Mongolia, but more on that as we know.  We move onwards tomorrow, all 15 of us - thats 14 guys and me.  Wish us luck, we'll keep you posted as we can, but internet is going to get more and more sparse as we head out into this crazy country.  If need be we should be reachable on our cell phone, the number for which I posted below.  Thanks for all your support!
