Bordermarkers 0691 - 0700
After the border guards freed my car close to BM 0690 I skipped BM 0691 and drove directly to BM 0692.
EE-RU  20160415 Map 0691-0700
Leaving the Ucrainca area and furter west towards Troiţcoe. Long straight border lines.

MD/UA 0691 not found Border marker 0691
So this one in the forest I skipped during the expedition in September 2023. I revisited the area in April 2024 and went to 0691. New were the anti-tank ditch plus sand wall which were made in the mean time.

EE-RU  20160415 Border marker 0692
Quite easy to reach by a farmers sand road. Fields with weath and corn everywhere around.
No fences, wall or didge here. The area is very sparsely populated and not so easy to access by car.

EE-RU  20160415 Intermediate marker 0692-05
One of the many intermediate markers.

EE-RU  20160415 Border marker 0693
I walked from 0692 to here and 0694. Besides by the bordermarkers on the angles, the border is hardly recognisable in the open fields.

Border marker 0694
About 500 meters from 0693. The Moldovan copy has a different shield.

EE-RU  20160415 Border marker 0695
From BM 0694 is about 5 kilometers to here. It took a long hike to reach this border marker as my car was not suitable for the sand roads in this area. And I didn't want to be in trouble once more so I had to park far from the border. Up hill I had to cross some fields and open uncultivated land.

EE-RU  20160415 Border marker 0696
Another 5 kilometers to the next one. I reached by taking a farmers road in Taraclia.

EE-RU  20160415 Border marker 0697
By the end of the thrid day I reached this pair of bordermarkers. Located at the edge of the very small Ukrainian village Petrivka. It looks like there once was a small and narrow road between Taraclia (MD) and Petrivka but it's not in use anymore.
When I was there a car of the Poliţia de Frontieră came my way. The friendly border guards knew who I was and didn't ask why I was here. They made the gesture of lifting a car jack. Good for a smile and a laugh.

EE-RU  20160415 Border marker 0698
The early morning start of the last day of this expedition. A full program today starting here close to Troiţcoe.

EE-RU  20160415 Intermediate marker 0698-01
Fields, a fence, a wall and a deep ditch.

EE-RU  20160415 Border marker 0699
500 meters from the previois one. I had to follow the edge of the corn field.

EE-RU  20160415 Border marker 0700
Just outside of Troiţcoe.
On the right the deep ditch that leads to BM 0699.
