14 February 2001 – Western Sahara

First Part of the Western Sahara Crossing

We have traveled over 13 hours today, crossing into the Western Sahara. Some of the drive was within a few yards of Atlantic Ocean. We were delayed by several detailed but friendly security stops. We gave an aircast to an injured police officer at one stop and were repaid with a long conversation about Texas and Hollywood. We saw many dozens of wild camels. Tomorrow we head to Dahkla for the convoy signup.
