My African Adventure

Hopefully by this time next week I'm in Dakar, Senegal by the beach "working".

Those seats look about as comfortable as a buck board wagon on 635.

Not bad at all. We had it up to 50mph surfing some dunes not even 20 minutes ago.

well that one "drawing" looks like a giraffe...seeing as that desert has been barren for a looong time, I would say those might be from a time where there was more vegetation in the area.

But just a guess, interesting to say the least

Walked back from chow. 30 minutes later I hear wind whipping around and snell dirt in the air. Step outside to this shit.

Yep, that is them. We have 2 and 4 seaters but they are all gas, no diesels.

Don't worry about it. Polaris is good enough, not that I am going to go buy one right now anyways.

I'm guessing the carvings are fairly old? I didn't read any, "I was here" markings....

I have no idea how old. This is a rock outcrop in the middle of no where and there are no villages for tens of miles to the south and nothing north of us for besides a huge uranium mine for a couple hundred miles. It isn't like folks go touring around up here. It is pretty remote. They only other sign of human life we see out here are shell casings and a little bit of range dunnage from US guys using the desert as a firing range.

Pretty amazing stuff

[KBScobravert]

We were flying across the desert in ours too. A lot of the sand, as you can imagine, is very soft and easy to get stuck in, but this thing powered just fine through it. I can see now why they are so expensive and why these folks use them for this mission here....and you can put gun mounts on them lol

Got to cruise the Chianti Mntns in this last weekend. Thing hauls ass and is rugged as hell. Very stable too!

I forgot to put in the pictures above. This is the largest uranium mine in the world....just a few miles from us.

the flat top mountain on the horizon..


Here are some pics of Petroglyphs in rock formations out in the Sahara. We went on a little excursion a few miles from the base in that little Polaris Razor. It was fun and games until my buddy lost his new Samsung phone and we followed our tracks back and forth twice from a-b...phone is gone.

Polaris, but I would have to go outside to get the model numbers.

Don't worry about it. Polaris is good enough, not that I am going to go buy one right now anyways.
