Gobi Camp Our camp in the Gobi consisted of 2 rows of gers with a wooden ger at the center which acted as the mess hall and where electricity was available in the evening after 9 pm. A small generator powered the single lightbulb in the hall and the several power cords that were packed with phone and camera chargers every night. Of course it often died out and we reserted to candles. There was a solar powered shower which provided hot water after a sunny day.
