More......

One huge wart hog!  South Africa, Ivory Tree Game Reserve.
Dad bought a Milk Chocolate Betty Crocker Cake Mix every time he saw one in the store.....you see.....good things like that come and go.  They can be there for six or seven weeks, and then   disappear for four or five months.....so in the end, dad had 32 cake mixes!!!  He now has to hurry and make them before we leave!  He takes them to the office...everyone loves them!
Dad writing down the needed statistics for the monthly record.
This is our truck.  This is where we get gas!!
This is Dickens.  He is our Immigration guru!  He has worked magic down at immigration.  At one time they were going to send all of the young elders home, because they said the church was trying to "trick" people, calling young men "elders".  That is a term of respect, reserved for older men in the villages.  Dickens is so patient and kind, he and the public affairs people, and Solomon, worked and worked with the immigration staff.  Slowly they began to understand.  He solved the problem.  He is showing us a very fancy invitation to a very fancy wedding of one of the "big-wigs" down at immigration.  He was so excited that he was one of the invited guests!!
Another "Wild Animal" at Ivory Tree!!!

A not so very good photo of a rare white Rhino Mom and baby!!  Ivory Tree....So. Africa
