Then when you get these authorizations, for Amguid, you just need a good = pair of shoes and a large backpack.... but an helicopter is fine too. Best day.

Dear Michel, We really enjoy your post on the mailing. We are a small team spending = its time to prospect meteorites in Africa and in October, we have = crossed just south of Tin Bider.

It seems not = well prospected! It was just after our return that we realized the opportunity we have = left to do those fantastic bivouacs. Have you photos of these craters = and what itinerary have you used to reach Amguid.
