Okay, I've got dates set, July 1- July 12. There will be 4 of us, and we plan to rent two Lada Niva's. We will be bring tents, and camping gear, in order to save money, but I need to find somewhere to buy waders, laterns, propane, and other stuff that can't be brought with us. Also, now that we...

Wow, what a cool place. WOW, LOOKS LIKE IT WAS A GREAT TIME. WISH I WAS THERE! Maybe next time.:Wow1:

I went to the caverns as a kid, and the one thing I really remember, besides the dino outside, was that mumified bobcat. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

Another place I would love to visit. Nice photos

Everybody seemed to be very nice, appearently, they value hospitality, more than anything. I was always being offered help. They were very curious about me, since there are very few Americans who visit, mostly French and Spanish tourist from what I saw. They al speak French to a degree, in the...

If there were a way that I could get a permit in advance, it would be possible, but they want people to watch that video where the jets blow up a mountain(which is cool), and there is no way to get a group permit.

Can't get Friday off, otherwise I would join you. Have fun, great trail.

The picture of your dog on the dune is fantastic.

Morocco pt 9 Day 9 Did'nt do much, started raining after lunch. I had lunch in this little resort town. I ordered a chiken tanjine, and wow, even thought it was a little cold, it ranks among the ten best meals I have ever had. Kept going up the coast, rain started pouring. Finally, I had...

Morocco pt 8 Day 8 Sun was out, I decided to make a break for it. Went back to Essaouira, got breakfast, and then explored a little more. After lunch, I headed cross country, through a pine forrest, on a flooded out logging rd. Lots of trees, and then I came to this old castle. This...

Morocco pt 8 Days 6 & 7 Well, back in Sidi Kaouki and a big storm rolling in. I woke up to this. I explored the tomb some more This is a room for couples who are trying to conceive. The door was locked, so I stuck my hand through a small opening to get this shot. And if what I am told was...

Morocco pt 7 Day 5 Woke a bit hungover, but determined to make time, I headed east and got to the ancient walled city of Taroudant. Just as I got there, I saw a flash in the rear view mirror. Lightning. I got worried about warnings I had heard about going into the desert during the Monsoon...

Morocco pt 6 Then back down into another valley. Cool dry waterfall, with an irrigation channel in it I spent about an hour driving around trying to find the way to this possibly abandoned village, but no luck. After about 5-6 hours on trails, I crested a ridge, and was back to pavement...

Morocco pt 5 Day 4 So after leaving the rental car place, I decided I was going to drive up a Oasis/gorge I had seen the day before. So back up to Tamri, where I had broken down the day before. This was so cool to me, being so used to oak an scrub in a river basin, to see all the date palms...

Morocco pt4 Day 3 Next morning, more camels. Got back on the coastal highway and headed south towards Agadir. On the way, I entered Argan tree country. This tree is used for cosmetics, salad dressing, feed, and many other uses, it is a very important crop in Moroco. The goats like it too...

Morocco pt 3 On the way out of town, I saw a sign for Sidi Kaouki. That is a song by one of my favorite singers, Manu Chao, so I took a detour and found a very cool little beach hangout, populated by surfers and Rastafarians. I had dinner at the restuarant on the left, owned by Ali and...

Morocco Part 2 My next day, I started from Safi, a fishing port, with several very nice colleges, but I was afraid to take pictures, since all the colleges were surrounded by police. They generally take your camera if you are caught taking pictures of them. This was an up and coming town, with...
