137 to "African soil" at the Joberg airport, 138 to the Sea Cliff, 139 to a sundowner at Kigosi. Started packing a month ago, went to the doc for a Malerone scrip Saturday, shot tin cans with the .458 last Sunday, got my shots yesterday, .375 went to the 'smith for a tuneup today. Maybe I'll do 4457s at lunch tomorrow....... I'm not ready yet, but I COULD BE in 5 minutes.  ______________________ RMEF Life Member SCI DRSS Chapuis 9,3/9,3 + 20/20 Simson 12/12/9,3 Zoli 7x57R/12 Kreighoff .470/.470 We band of 9,3ers!

20 days before I step off the plane in RSA then off to Botswana the next day. In the final strech now, just have to review everything and not leave anything important behind. CFA *If you are not hunting in Africa you are planning to hunt in Africa* | |||

I'll be back in the Zambezi Valley on 17 May so just on 62 +/- days for leopard/ele with Brent Leesmay and Chifuti Safaris. On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.
