It almost makes me cry to think about those old giants being destroyed not to talk about the Pel's fishing owls O-/

Research (mapping of trees) found that in recent years there is no recruitment of young Sycamore fig trees throughout KNP at all.

Too bad! Those trees are a real symbol, but maybe someone thinks that we will have ruined the earth anyway before they grow up :evil:

From the car I photographed the children...I wonder what they were talking about? Probably how thankful they were for my leadership and guidance every year! ..0..


q.jpg




Frew: "PLEASE can we get to camp? This guy is insufferable!"

Mam: "I thought he may have grown up in the last five years? :O^ "


RP: "Yoohoo! Now you stand that side, Mambas!"


q1.jpg

And we were in camp remarkably quickly! :-? :shock: -O-


Our view for the next 3 days! O:V


q2.jpg


The youngsters went inside to aircon and begin their three day struggle with the camp's internet reception... :twisted:

Oom sat outside and could at last have a beer, as we were in our accommodation! X#X

Then Alf began to bother us telephonically to have a visit, as he had booked in Olifants as well when he heard we were there...a bit needy, perhaps, but one has to be polite? :O^


The only little cooler we had belonged to Mambas' wife...so fit in well with my effeminate basket. Bushcraft would be proud. O/\





q5.jpg


The dimwits dropped me off at Alf's larney house on the exact other side of camp, as they were going to go to reception and fight for their www rights... :O^


Hello! X#X



q6.jpg

He had an even better view! O\/

It was wonderful to see the Aliens again, I must say!

Especially my SBSP (Shingwedzi Bottomless Swimming Partner.) 0/0 O0

An assortment of feet...apologies for Alf's there, in the middle... :no:



q9.jpg

Q: The Olifants Bridge may be the highest bridge in the Park, but which is the longest?
