About 200km to Cameroon border and staying in a little town in Nigeria. My premonitions have been broken about here but the roads and weather make me loath it here.

Beer tonight!!!!!!!Just got into Dakhla and let me tell you, its been a hard ride on the Lady. We high tailed it at 100 (kilometers) and on a rough section the bump tore our bungee securing our hood and the hood flapped and smashed our headlight which in turn shredded out tire WHICH then tore out our left turn signal. She is still running pretty and with good hope will have no more problems!!! hehehe Tomorrow we will hit up the Mauritanian border and try and get out Mali visa at some time. Also need to find a spare tire. Chaos!!!! PS....... Read more ... |
