More of my bits and pieces

@

We've got camping garbage cans in California parks that mostly frustrate raccoons and even bears - South Africa has baboons and they are tough Dudes!


Driving in SA is "interesting". Right hand drive is not an issue ("stay left" is my constant mantra) but sharing the road uses imagination. It's plenty wide for 3 cars on a 2-lane highway, especially when the slower traffic moves way over onto the shoulder. We did have 1 thrilling adventure on the way to Krueger when we were just learning the process and thought all oncoming traffic would also move over to allow the pass. We don't know if THAT guy either didn't see us earlier or was just a hard case but he didn't move over and it was a last minute squeeze and we didn't try that maneuver again. Nobody had to stop and change their jockey shorts but it was a short moment of "uncertainty". 

The Apple juice factory - enormous Apple processing plant is part of the bike race with scaffolding ramps leading to it as well as a fantastic array inside the huge stack of apple harvest boxes. 
This stack of boxes is over a hundred yards long and 50 yards wide. And then I ordered a "savanna dark" cider from this facility for lunch that day and gave it 3 thumbs up - awesome!
