Another pack found

Category: Uncategorized | Date: Mar 26 2008 | By: admin

Howzit everyone,

Well, the run of luck continues. We (meaning Reuben and Misheck) found another pack today. I’ve managed to match up one individual, so I’m hazarding a guess that this is the ‘Bridges’ Pack. One more located!

They’re looking at the car. But I’m not in the car….

‘What are you grinning at?’

Yesterday, I went to the south of the conservancy on my own, to try to locate the Mavericks Pack. As one of them is collared, I thought I would be able to pick them up quite easily. I thought wrong. I’d driven around and climbed several small hills but I still couldn’t recieve their signal.
I also spent some time as the guest of a particularily soft patch of muddy road. Still, nothing an hour of lugging rocks, digging with hands and copious swearing couldn’t sort out.
The pack may have temporarily left the boundaries of the conservancy but, due to my unscheduled ‘rest’ stop, it was too late for me to search in that direction. I’ll look for them again in a few days.

Thanks to those of you who made the effort to vote on the new pack’s name. Humani it is then. Who says there won’t be a fair election in Zimbabwe this year?!

Sarai zvakanka,

Mike
