Motorcylcing Chernobyl

Found the strangest blog -- about a woman motorcycling through Chernobyl. Apparently the radiation isn't uniform, the winds spread it unevenly across the countryside. She carries a Geiger counter with her on her motorcycle. The pictures are utterly amazing, and whats more, the stories about the men fighting the fire, and the villagers who went to watch the initial fire, totally unaware that they were looking into the burning guts of a nuclear reaction. I can't fathom going into Chernobyl on a motorcycle, but what a story!
