Sorry - for one moment, I thought that DAKAR stood for 'Donna and Kid and Rich' |

They are awesome! Especially that really steep dune that Ming pointed out. I would have thought they'd have given up on NO 24. It looks a bit fooked! |

Picture #12 looks just like the drop-off where Guy had his crash recently. Picture #20 was taken just before the co-driver told me 'These aren't the droids you're looking for.' |
