Olifants 21 - 24 Sept 2012

Post by GeorgeJvR »

On Friday morning we left Louis Trichardt and forgot the trailers keys at home :alvarin:
So we turned back "10KM" and started over :evil:

Met up with Arno, who is lurking around the forum :acute: , in Polokwane.
Got some Lunch at McDonalds and headed out to the campsite on the chenespoort road, +/- 80km

Just how we like it. no ablution, water etc. you have to bring every thing your self.

Had a bit of a late nite ......

Saturday struggled to get out of bed, and left the campsite half an hour late :sick:

Then a cruiser got stuck so i knew i should not go between him and the river, on his left so i opted for the righthand side.....

Arno tried to winch me out but his KZ moved and not my 2.7 :twisted:
Then an over sized RN series tried to snatch me...still he was not heavy enouth :problem: :problem:
Then a Mahindra powered Discovery came to the rescue
After the fourth snatch he freed my IFS from its mud bath :blushing:

It was late and we needed to be back at camp at 17h00 so wee headed back

When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.

Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!
