Kareedouw Creosote Works

My first major ministry was in the "provincial" city of Port Elizabeth. When travelling from Port Elizabeth to Cape Town, the road branches into the busy N2 on the coast, or the quiet R62 inland. I often took the inland route. The first town on this route is Kareedouw, well known for its Creosote Works (pictured). Creosote oil, which is made from tar, is used here to preserve wood. OBSERVATION: Behind this mountain, at the time, lived a girl on a desolate plateau, who would one day become my wife. At the time, I did not know that the plateau existed.
