Typical Day at the "Office"



Another typical day at the office (so to speak). Get back to camp at 5:30am after spending the night in Dixie. Get things ready in the final control for the drive. After the drive suit up in the walk camera gear to start walking at 9:00am CAT ~9:10 find an elephant on foot and show it live to the world, 9:30am end the walk and head back to camp for chat at 10:00am. :)

Yup you read correctly today for the walk we once again focused on tracking an elephant, and this time we were able to find and approach one on foot. It was an interesting experience with lots going threw my mind, more so on hoping the signal is good, and picture isn't to shaky :) and of course thinking about what to do if the ellie came our way.


I wrote the top part earlier and have more to add from the evening drive. We saw the same elephant again. We also saw White Cloth (Female Leoprad) that was the first time for me to see her, and it has been a while since she has been seen in the area. It also looks like she has cubs. Also while at they hyena den another young pup started peeking its head out.
