Namibia Africa Elephant Problems

This is interesting. Dave, the driver, is taking one of his patented shortcuts and he stops the truck, telling us that there is a group of elephants crossing the road in front of us. We let the elephants cross the road and we start to proceed, only to get stuck in a large expanse of sand. A bunch of the group then get out to try and get the truck out of the sand. About that time, here comes another large group of elephants who appear to want to cross the road right where we are stuck. Needless to say, we hope the elephants are patient. In the end, we got the truck unstuck and headed back the way we came rather than trying to go through the high sand and try to deal with a herd of elephants. It only cost us an extra hour.
