Re: DB's CSR Trip

Had over 500 photos to weed thru... Some stories have to stay on the CSR
Should have pointed out at the beginning most of these pics are 16x9 - click on them for full image
Below photo not quite in chronological order.
Apparently the fuel drop had been cleaned up according to our L70 crew who went thru 2 years earlier
Well 30 to 26 was a typical day
Covered another 130 or so km
Good to leave the nasty corrugations behind... for the best part anyways
Easy dunes, more camels
Thring Hill
Another good camp spot at Well 26 with a toilet, fire pit and good water under well doors
Came across 2 blokes there riding the entire track unsupported:
All they had is what they could carry - no fuel drops either
They didnt stop for long - just long enough to strip, a cool off drenching with well water, share a quick story before hammering on. Impressive stuff - really!
Well 26 to Lake Disappointment
16L/100km
Was surprised to see another full salt pan
A few of us were keen to go for a swim. Good to get the dust out of ya hair
The North corner of Lake Disappointment
A perfect camp site just after the lake come into view. Look up toward the oak trees and find an elevated spot - there's a few camp spots - great views of the ultra white salt pan.
The colour changes around sunset/sun rise...
This photo didnt do it any justice
