Mongolian Navagation Made Easy

Here is a typical Mongolian road. Do you see it? Its that small track in front of the sign with all the place names rubbed off and that vague line of clouded dust across the left side of the picture. Either way all the arrows on the sign are pointing in the same direction! How can you go wrong?
In the phrasebook the word for road and the word for path are the same. Why would you need to differentiate? All the roads here are essentially paths. When one path gets to rutted or dusty another path develops along side it. Sometimes they meet back up sometimes they don't. I usually follow the dust clouds made by trucks in the distance or the powerlines, when there are any.
