This thread should be re-named " A motorcycle ride through the Chernobyl
dead zone" so poeple know what they will find here. It is a bone-chilling historical treasure documenting the destruction which
still lingers and will cause this area to be off-limits for hundreds of years. I hope the Elena's health is not compromised by her exposure to the radiation here. She carried a geiger counter and goes very fast and stays on the road, as the asphalt does not absorb radiation as do the road side plants and soil. But I feel as if she should be wearing protective clothing and breathing thru a mask or filter.
