After the last two solid weeks exploring the Nubian flats, the final week was upon us. It’s crazy how quickly time has gone by. It feels like just yesterday that we walked our first flat up here. What a journey it has been. The last two weeks have been great and with some old friends...
Wow, I can’t believe that the end of this awesome exploratory season is almost upon us.

As soon as that week was winding down, we began watching the weather forecast like hawks...
