Ha ha. Hopefully it will hold up. It has certainly struggled in the past.
In SA they use use cement to stabilize surface of the dykes on which the road is constructed. In this case the edges of the dyke has been further stabilized with natural stone bound to the edges with cement. I am guessing the intention is that the excess water that can't be dealt with by the culverts will flow over the road instead of eroding the dyke.
Wow! Dramatic indeed. Could that be a recumbent fold in the rock strata in the mountain ahead.
2 months agoInteresting what they did to the road to keep them from being washed out next time, with the rocked edges. Good luck, road!
2 months agoThanks Scott. Personally I think the antibiotic she was given knocked her for a six.
2 months agoGreat news that Leigh has her health back. Let's hope it stays that way.
2 months agoI'd be loathe to critique a girl that's willing to follow you on the kinds of rides you do. I think you have a keeper!
2 months agoLeigh wouldn't use it until I had removed all the expired wildlife and given it a bit of a scrub. Sometimes girls can be so girly.

Looking forward to seeing where you'll go next. I especially enjoyed this one, because my first wife and I nearly took a placement in the Peace Corps in Botswana half a century ago. Thanks for giving us a look.
