I’m not sure if I’m jumping the gun here, but I’m going to continue --00--

Eventually after hours of watching waterhole action I started to get twitchy and decided to head off down the S33, H1-3, H1-2. RP wanted to park off a little longer, so Gump also had to park off. Fuel saver Gump also seemed nervous of my route anyway.

We spotted very little on our route and when we eventually linked up with RP and Gump again at the S36 southern entrance they were discussing a tree, so I take it they didn’t spot much either

A few “close to the road” ellies made an appearance thereafter which resulted in the Cow instructing me to continue on until we were at a safe distance as Gump had decided to stop as close as possible to them.

We ducked down the H4-1 back to camp and RP and Gump continued on the H1-2 to camp. We scored a big luck which I’m will include in my TT and I’m not sure what else Gump and RP found.

It was my turn to feed the gang, so Rump steak was on the menu

We didn't start Gump's "floor fire" immediately as it was a little warmer

I found these pics amusing but Albert didn't as she did this big dance and Gump doesn't move once. She asked me later if Gump had fallen asleep =O: =O: =O: =O: --00--

Gump has definitely fallen a sleep 0*\ Why else would he be able not to have a look at Albert's big dance :X: 0-

Our pics are done, I think, BC! :twisted:

Ja..we didn't see much on the way back, except the elephant race...will put that up under Dam Levels... ^0^

Gump got the big beers, as said, and I think they caught up with him! lol

He is a qualified tree expert, and very clever with trees, as he studied them at varsity. A bit boring for the layman, but I surprised him with my knowledge of the latin names! =O:

The steaks were massive indeed! :shock:

My main reason for visiting was to taste the heavenly Clan Potato Salad again...the other stuff interfered! @#$
