Another new concession today. It wasn't hard to find since the only directions we needed upon leaving the lodge were "drive to the rock". We glassed the mountain in search of anything left on Jamie's list. If we had been going alphabetically we would have been in search of baboons or a bongo but Jamie chose to just choose randomly.
They spotted some mountain reedbuck (if you're paying attention you'll see he is still going alphabetically since he got the common one yesterday). We tried calling them down but they didn't come. That meant they had to go up there. Since this took more than 10 minutes, I had time to catch up on really important things. Alphabetize the beverages in the cooler. Glass the mountain. Check the time. Look at photos on camera. Realize I've downloaded old ones already so all I have are ones of the mountain in front of me. Rearrange the beverages by color. Glass the mountain. As you can see, I had really important matters to take care of.
In the end they had success but the success happened on top of the mountain so they had to carry him down. And by they I mean Danie (not that Jamie didn't offer).
