  | Month Away Heading to South Africa (Jo'burg) on Monday evening and then on to 4 weeks voluntary work in a private game reserve - assisting with game drives etc. (Mabula Game Lodge - Home Page). So I'll be back after that (hopefully with lots of pictures)

| Wow Gnomey, that's cool. Are you going to have anything to do with tracking down poachers? If so, shoot first, then ask questions. Hope you have some fun. I'm looking forward to the pics. |

| Be careful, Gnomey. From my experience, the two legged animals are more dangerous than the four legged!

| There should be some stories for sure (if not necessarily about what I have done but about others). Anyway heading to the airport now. I may have access to the internet so we'll see how it goes...

| Yeah, it is great fun so far. The rangers I am shadowing for the month are all cool guys (and girls). Seen a fair amount of the wildlife so far (and for free to ).
