From Basecamp1

The first stage of the trip was pretty uneventful. 200 km of spotty tarmac with about 1km of chest deep water. There was a long line of regular cars waiting to be ferried across on makeshift rafts, but the DCI jeeps were able to pass through without any problems. One Media Cherokee (drivers Kiki and Iwan) swallowed some water and had to go through a cleansing at Palangkaraya. Ossy's jeep developed some rear axle problems as well.
We had lunch with the Governer of Central Kalimantan at Palangkaraya and then on to SCS 1&2. As of this writing, the SCS 1&2 has not been completed, however we expect all vehicles to arrive at basecamp 1 tonight.
During SCS 1 or 2, one of the Toyota's flipped over into a pond, leaving only the tires sticking out of the water. Both driver and codriver are ok.
Of note there are 5 motorcyclist's participating in the event, 4 from Indonesia and 1 international.
The Cyber4x4 is now at Basecamp 1, 20km North of Palangkaraya (S 2d 3.286 min E 113 d 56.601 min) Sigi Village. Still on asphalt roads.
