Day 2
At 5 a.m, frozen and sleepy, we went on. Approximately 70 km from Tommot is Aldan - a small gold mining city. In the city itself didn't call in,just drove by.

At 60 km from Aldan there is the Big Nimnir - a tiny village (population - 236 people in 2010). A little farther from it they arranged a halt. Here I finally got some sleep.
At dinner we moved on. In 170 km from Aldan is Chulman - a small village. It's notable for the geothermal source of "Nakhot". The source doesn't freeze even in winter, and winters are severe. Even in the minus 40C at the source you can swim. Of course, we would like to go there and plunge, but we are very economical, and this pleasure costs money .... So that's it ...
Halfway between Aldan and Neryungri we saw an abandoned building from the road. Of course, we climbed there. Later it was learned that this building of the power plant of the camp "Vasilievka" - one of the camps of the Gulag.
In the camp the main type of work was the extraction of monazit (a mineral containing uranium-235). It's produced for two years and terminated due to economic inexpediency. Also prisoners were used for logging. There were people with long terms (25 years of imprisonment). In case of escape prisoners were shot. Vasilyevka was a residential zone that allows complete isolation from the outside world .
After 50 km from Neryungri - the village of Iengra, one of the few places where Evenks live, where the language and culture of the Evenk people are preserved. Near the small river Iengra we arranged a halt and thoroughly swam. The bottom is shallow, stony, the water is warm, the current is slow. I liked it there very much. It was strange to bathe in warm water after the cold Lena with its rapid current and muddy bottom with pits.
We crossed the border of Yakutia and here we are in the Amur Region. At night we stopped for Tynda. And the second night was also terribly cold, but better than the first night (no, no one got sick). The farther south we rode, the warmer it became.
