Desert Fish

Recently a ten ton truck filled with tilapia and ice sank into some mud on the Chalbi Desert. It sat almost six days in the mud until another truck filled with ice took the good fish that were left to Nairobi. There were approximately 1,500 fish in the truck. We ate six of them as a reward for our efforts in trying to help get it unstuck.


We hauled rocks over to put under the tires of the truck.


The truck was really stuck--this is actually an improvement after two or three days of work.


A four wheel drive Mercedes truck came to try to help pull them out.


It got stuck too.


The station Landrover pulled up the Mercedes so that rocks could be piled under its tires and then pulled out.

Hooray for the Landrover!!
