Andy,

Great photos,story and trek!

As I have posted about your photos before, your black and white (and sepia photos also), evoke primal thoughts of earlier expeditions on the continent that many of us have read but never experienced.

Thank you and looking forward to the next installments.  What a privilege to be able to roam.

What was the critter in the snare?  An ostrich?

I got the gear ready, but the duffel-bag full of $50 bills doesn't seem to be where I left it.

Oh well.  We have whitetail and turkeys and they challenge me to the limits.

Awesome stuff Andy. I see a National Geographic special in the making. Your photographic eye for capturing the beauty of nature and people interacting within it is outstanding.   Your living a life that should certainly be documented.    :clapper:    :clapper:    :clapper:

Andy, First off you always have top notch photos. That really helps me feel like I'm there. Second, they way you made that story like you were guiding me along, awesome! That is probably the closest I'll get to hunting there at least for the next 10 years. So, thanks again for the great experience. Great thread.

I can't take credit for all the pics, some are my Dad's and some are Nigel's they are both great.
