We rolled into Marrakech yesterday evening around 5pm local time after a grueling day of driving from Fès. The journey began at 6am when we left before dawn and wound its way through the snow covered Atlas mountains. The driving temperatures ranged from the mid 30°F range to around 78°F. As we have found with most of the roads in Morocco, the driving surface is in good condition but the width of the roads are very narrow and the drivers on them are a whole other story. We made it intact and in better shape than the previous day where Paul and I nearly rolled the truck in an emergency manouver to avoid an oncoming car in our lane. In that incident we managed to slide off of the road and come to a stop beside a ditch. Other than needing four wheel drive to get out we got back under way with no damage other than our shattered nerves. We are currently experiencing a few issues with getting photos up to the web, but hope to do that later today.
