Some of us volunteered to be up early Saturday morning to help finish up the temporary üCamp water so it will be ready for Monday morning when registration begins and the official rally gets underway. The first challenge of the day was finding the north end of the pipe that runs under one of the campground roads through which one of the PVC lines will be threaded. It resembled an archeological site especially when bits of pottery and wooden slabs were uncovered prompting references to cultural resource management and Indiana Jones! Now all the lines are in place and every valve is closed. Ready for Monday morning when Nate will connect it to water and we can assist in the final check. All is well with the universe.
Can’t wait to see you two adventurers on Monday! So good of you to pitch in with the pipes for the good of all! Stay cool and hope no one springs a leak!

Queen Mary 2’s arrival in the Port of Dakar, Senegal was heralded in the local press and greeted with ceremony. Our own excursion took us on a coach journey through the streets of the capital city to visit a Wolof village and the shore of Lake Retba, the salty lake famed for an intense pink color.
Today’s safari adventure transported us out into the Dorob National Park to have up close encounters with little creatures that are well adapted to the extreme heat and lack of water in the Namib Desert.
With a UNESCO World Heritage Site, two national parks, dozens of museums, and hundreds of tours offered in the Cape Town area there is more than plenty to do. For our two day visit we opted to concentrate on African wildlife visiting the Aquila Private Game Reserve and the Boulders Beach Penguin Colony for a wonderful chance to these fabulous animals in their own habitat.
