Title: Africa Overland Blogs
Post by: kphoger on October 05, 2012, 05:51:32 PM
Does anyone else on here like reading through people's blogs from wild and crazy long-distance adventures?  I particularly enjoy reading Arfica overland blogs, but there are others out there as well.

One intersting photo set I just stumbled upon is called Across Africa in a classic Porsche (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/activityandadventure/9508665/Across-Africa-in-a-classic-Porsche-in-pictures.html?frame=2323841).

Wow, should this link even be allowed on here?  The guy prefers asphalt highways to concrete.  Blasphemy!

If I drove a motorcycle, I would too. The little grooves in concrete, especially when wet, can really affect balance when your path does not match the grooves.
