Just as a point to all of you that may be out in the Sahara someday... Runs like this leave you still hundreds upon hundreds of kms to drive before being able to fill up with more air. And in many cases 100s of kms on rock and really rough roads with serious potholes waiting to eat soft tires. If you are ever going to deflate your tires in Africa, be sure to have your own air pump to reinflate the tires, as filling stations with air are few and far between. Unfortunately we did not have a pump for this one, but thanks for the info Arn. Many have given us the advice to let air out of the tires, and we do appreciate anyone’s advice along the way.

It is refreshing to know that parks are still be set up that do not fit this mold and are set aside as they are to be the wild places that we need to be able to go to and enjoy them as they are. Sans gift shop! It saddens me how most national parks are becoming more and more like outdoor Disney Lands!

I wish I was there; and who knows, maybe one of these days our paths will cross. In the meantime, to keep you up on the US gos: Gov. Spitzer of NY was just found to have a "situation" with a high paid call girl (i.e. 10s of 1000s of $$$) and been forced to resign. Barack Obama is winning more delagates by the day (sure you know that). Not so much else to report, oh yeah Janet Jackson has the flu and Mariah Carey is replacing her this weekend on SNL....all VERY important stuff. So keep digging out of the dunes, watch out for the check points, be safe, and as your new friend, obviously, I will send you the important scoop from home.
