Bags of 40-50 kg each were placed on top for camouflage; potatoes were poured out of the bags.
Immediately after loading, we left for Volgodonsk.
I traveled ahead in a 'Moskvich', while Batchayev and Krymshamkhalov followed in a 'KAMAZ'.
We agreed to meet at a parking lot already in Volgodonsk.

I arrived at night; since there were many trucks at that parking lot, I didn't look for our 'KAMAZ', but simply decided to spend the night in my car at a neighboring parking lot.
In the morning, I found the 'KAMAZ', and we drove it to the motor depot.
Then the three of us went in my 'Moskvich' to the truck exchange (I don't remember the exact location), where we found...
