DEEP IN THE JUNGLE

NOMANS LAND between SOUTH CAMEROON – BORDER TO CONGO
We know, we cannot escape these roads. Because there’s only one road across this –otherwise- inaccessible jungle. One road; One choice! The piste was so bad, it would take days to get out. The ruts were deep from the logging trucks, and the front diff dug into hard mid, but no damage like in 1988.
Although, it robbed me of sleep last night, because I knew this was only the beginning. The road’s had muddy sinkholes that were deeper than a four-wheel-drive Land Rover Defender. I could not open the doors. The mud came straight through the windows. Things only worsened: a storm came. Like being in a nightmare that would not end.
