Richprins' Short Business Trips to The Park

[Flutterby]

[Flutterby]

But presumably he has a black hat and is riding in a horse-drawn buggy?

[Richprins]

Inscrutable!

[Mel]

The way you talk about your friends' wives...tsk

Wonder what they say about their friend who sit on his mobile

[Richprins]

I flatter the wives!

[Bushcraft]

Hahahaha, cell phone search assistance from the anti-poaching division

Gump and Poohead. Has Gump been living on fruit and vegetables, he looks like a racing snake now

The cell phone was the suppository

Amish crocodiles I still need to get my revenge on Gump

[Richprins]

Gump's weight goes up and down, BC. Once you hit 40 it is a struggle!

[Pumbaa]

Great to see that there is still water in the Crocodile river

[Richprins]

Onward!

A big 5!

And I REALLY enjoyed this classic scene off the Mbyamiti Bridge, very much worthy of a tea!

Around this point Flutts SMS'd to say that under NO circumstances was I to see them until 6 that evening, as they were tired. I had secretly been hoping for perhaps a little drive with them, and was starved for human company after hours of driving alone.

I had a quick cry in the shade here in front, and then felt better!

The plan was to go and sit at the pan near the end of the S25, which I had watched filling up with water earlier that year!



But the pan was dry...

[Richprins]

Through the tears I maar went to book in at Crocobridge, and it took very long as there was only one person working at the peak 2:30 time...


But the accommodation was a wonderful surprise, more later, and so unusual to step into the cottage which was ice cool even without aircon! (It was pretty hot outside, which it always is near Komatipoort! )

I had a little snooze, as I was a bit feverish and the sun had struck me a bit...

Then a solo evening trip up to Gezantombi Dam, but no aminals. Very nice though!

(Lions appeared there just after I left. )


Anyway, Plan F was to go to another pan back on the S25 that I had spotted on the way in!


Giraffe on the way!

Some shade, actually a marvelous spot!

But no aminals whatsoever...I think a warthog came and briefly looked at me and then left without wallowing!




So I exploded a nuclear device I had brought with me, just to ease the frustration a bit!
