Onward!

It was hot and dry, in case I haven't mentioned that? :-0

Mazithi Dam was dry, but the windpump operating! O/\

We turned off on the S-86 a bit to go and sit in the shade. Someone got out of the car next to us to drain the main vein, and got quite a shock as some ellies made a sudden appearance! :shock: :shock: :shock:

=O:

Kumana Dam was also dry! :shock: :shock: :shock:

I could quite happily have sat here all day... :-0 :-0 :-0


I may have said this before but waterhole-action...

Frew: "Ja, I think your point has been made. :O^ "


One thing I hate is how the elephants bully other drinkers, especially the teenagers! @#$

In the last pic a small ellie was copying the bahaviour of a teenager. 0*\

We also drove that tar road up north and it was shocking to see all waterholes dry. Glad you had some action
