4 March 2001 – Mali
We
are currently camped about 100KM south of Mopti, Mali. It was a fairly uneventful day today, a nice
change from having truck problems. We
left Bamako around 8am, and had a small delay getting Jim and Mike’s trucks
started. They had dead batteries due to
running the fridges in such hot temperatures.
Today the high was 106F. The
roads were great today, they were all paved!!
The sad thing today was saying bye to Pat, he is flying out of Bamako on
Tuesday. Tomorrow we head for Mopti in
the morning and then onward toward Timbuktu.
