7 March 2001 – Mali
We
have Timbuktu on our radar screen!! We
are camped about 50 miles south of Timbuktu in the desert. Tomorrow we plan to arrive in Timbuktu but
we have a very difficult sandy section ahead.
Everyone is well and trucks are holding up. We left Dogon today, it was
definitely the high point of the trip.
We should be able to update the site later in the week from Niamey,
Niger.
