Koue Bokkeveld Storm

In October 2018, I took a break in South Africa's Koue Bokkeveld. My hosts in the Great Karoo tried to call me, to warn me that a great storm had struck the area – but I had already set off. Shortly after that, they said, their communications went down in the storm. It took me a week to recover from the exhaustion of battling that storm for 200 miles in my microcar – hour after long hour. The photo shows how I found the roads. I made it through this particular obstacle, a few days after the storm, after getting out of my cab to figure out a way across.
