The paint job we received from a Moroccan artist near Agadir.
A stop in the Sahara
In the middle of the Sahara stuck in sand between two bushes. Sand tracks, four-wheel low, and lockers do the trick.
The rear lights from ELS provided reliable artificial daylight which assisted us in getting back on the road instead of spending the evening out in the desert sands (not that it would have been bad).
The truck stopped for our highway breakfast.
In the sands of Erg Chebbi, Morocco.
The truck parked at Le Petit Princess. We setup camp here and I worked on the lights finding that they were fine, but the ground point was bad.
Re-enflating the tires after escaping the sand trap.
What is special about this sand is that there is about 40 more feet of loose sand under the visible sand. Zero traction.
It was after nightfall before we got out of this mess.
A slow process. Dig, place tracks, drive forward. Repeat.
The truck stopped on the road. The road is half of the river filled with concrete.
