A few years ago Mandy Lea made a decision to live a more deliberate life. She purchased a T@G travel trailer and made plans to trade her workaday job for free lance photography and a life on the road. There’s a cool back story as to how she came to the attention of many of us in the teardrop trailer community but we’ll save that for another day. Suffice to say that we met her two years ago and have been following her video blog since. Then in June we met Fred & Barb who were camping in a T@G trailer at Outflow Campground in Confluence Pennsylvania. Fred mentioned that he’d seen video of a woman who lived in a T@G. He was amazed to learn that not only had we heard of Mandy Lea but that we knew her! At today’s Swap Meet we were able to not only introduce them to one another but to get a photo of all of us and Allison, our intrepid organizer as well. Did we mention that the theme of this year’s üCamp is “We Are Family”? It is so true! And there was a treat for us, we got to meet Jean of Doty Hill Designs. The’s the talented woman who crafted the visor for our T@B 400!
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.
