Night 1 - Lekubu (hippo island) in the dry lake (pan)
Being the first night, we partied pretty hard. In fact, one of
the drivers hooked up his car battery to chill some whisky for
breakfast. The next morning, we didn't want any cold whisky, but
rather hoped that we could jumpstart the dead battery. |

| Hmmmmm...unprocessed
frozen hamburger. :p |
Looks like
desert, but is actually a dry lake. |
Same. July
is the winter/dry season. |

to party at Lekubu, Botswana. We invited MTV, but they said the
party was too rowdy for them |
I'm not sure if
this picture is genius or crap. (Sunrise at Lekubu) |

The Lion At one point, we saw a herd of elephants several hundred
yards off. The trucks stopped and everyone got out to take
pictures of them. I ran ahead to take a picture of everyone on the
trucks. Later, when we developed the pictures, a lion is visible
in the foreground of one the elephant pictures, but no one knew it at
the time. So, if the lion were hungry, he would've eaten whichever
one of us was separated from the herd - i.e., me. |

needed to take. |

This is a
lion we saw later in the trip. Sorry, can't find the picture. |
|
Yes, our trucks got stuck. |

| Why isn't the
behemoth of a manly man photographer pushing? |
I wonder if
Scientology allows you to make noises while pushing your truck? |
Finished
pushing, let's drink. |

It ran into the grass. |
