	Over the last few years I've gotten away from Urban Exploring, mostly because Oklahoma and the U.S. Central Plains are boring. I like grand places, ones without vandalism and that have history behind it. I made a commitment to myself in 2018, that starting in 2019 I would travel internationally at least once a year and visit a unique location. Just a few weeks ago, I flew from Oklahoma to Denver to Frankfurt to Almaty, and then to Kyzylorda. From there I grabbed a cheap taxi, which dropped me off along the highway at a café. Then I started what ended up being a 27.5 mile, or 44km hike. I originally projected 22 miles, so I guess I screwed up along the way. I have heard many stories about others getting caught, including just days before I was there. Believing I'm the first American to do this and wanting to avoid any chance, I played it safe. A few pictures for now, there will be more and drone video to come, along with a story about my travel. [last edit 10/12/2019 1:26 PM by VBJag - edited 1 times]

	Wow is right. Takes a lot of guts to fly to a foreign country you've never been to, and trek many miles on foot to a crazy abandonment alone! Awesome.

Wow is right.

Takes a lot of guts to fly to a foreign country you've never been to, and trek many miles on foot to a crazy abandonment alone! Awesome.

This was my first true international trip as I like to think Canada does not count.

Overall, Kazakhstan is a nice country where people seem friendly and helpful. The food in their grocery stores leaves something to be desired, that's for sure.

I can see myself going back. I failed to achieve all of the photography and drone objectives. The last thing I wanted to do was be caught, so I played it safe. Probably a little too safe :/

Now the question is, what's next for 2020!?

	Outstanding work. I really look forward to the rest, and am excited to hear the tales of your hike in/out. Must have been quite an adventure!!

	Really nice pictures. It's almost creepy how similar the Buran is to the Space Shuttle. Do you know what kind of rocket is in the third picture? Or is that the booster/core of the Buran launcher? Can't wait to see more of this place!
