Hey Folks, welcome to the webpage for the Griswold’s Mongol Rally. It has been 27 years since our family set out on its’ first epic adventure. This summer we will embark on another pilgrimage, not in search of a moose but of the far off Mongolian capital Ulan Bator. The main goal of this road rally other than to become reacquainted with the misadventures of the road is to raise money for charities in Mongolia. Please check out our Charity page and help support our team by donating to Mercy Corps–it’s fast, easy, and tax-deductible. Throughout the rally and the preparations for it, we will keep you posted on our progress with pictures and through our blog.
