Just be advised, Airforce and Vutome Dams have been left broken after floods and will not be fixed, I think! :-(

Have lots of pics, nana!

But now cd drive is broken...backups at least ready! O/ 0: 0=

Vutomi Dam was destined for demolition a long time ago...I think it broke in the 2012 floods?

Lugmag/Airforce dam broke last year?

Anyway, both may still hold a little water for a while, but not even close to through the dry season. Actually saw the confused herbivores not knowing what was going on at both in last year's dry season. There are however adjacent windmills at both dams, and I think both were operating.

But not enough to handle ellie and buffalo herds. :-?

I have plenty pics from this area, so just pulled out a couple pics from each road that I can remember off the top of my head.

We have been fairly successful on the H1-3, but unfortunately mainly in the Mazithi Dam area, which is outside of this “square”

The S125 and the S36 section have been ok for us, but I find it hit and miss some times.

I love the S33 and can’t wait to drive it again now that it’s open. It’s a fairly quiet road traffic wise when one considers that you are in the “south”

H1-3 Section
