A few months ago Kevin planned a hunting/camping trip for our family with two other families-the Powers and Vines. Each of our sons would get to kill a lechwe and we would get to visit with these families. We didn't find out until a couple of weeks before we left for this trip that there would not be bathrooms or even long drops or showers! Thankfully, there were lots of ant hills that we could go behind because at our campsite there was only this one big tree. It turned out to be ok and not as bad as I thought it would be. We all had a good time!

The sunset was beautiful but by the time I grabbed my camera it was almost all the way down.

Two of our tents had doggie holes in them. Justin used this to ask for breakfast in bed!
Zach shooting his Lechwe
It looks like the Lechwe is posing in this picture. He made a good shot.
Justin taking aim
Justin's Lechwe ended up in the water so it had to be dragged out.

Jeff, Kenny, and Kevin looking for a big Lechwe. Kenny killed two lechwe but I didn't get any pictures of his since I didn't go out that time.
Because it was so muddy out there Jeff and Justin had to drag his Lechwe to the truck.
Justin does not mind getting muddy at all!

Kevin was able to kill a Lechwe too.

There is a fishing village in this area which we had to ride through as we went out to look for animals.
People actually live here like this.
They are out in the middle of nowhere.
These kids ran up to the road to wave to us.
The hunting guide that went out with us said there were probably over 1000 people who live out there like this.
