Small world, Mike, Martin, Graham, and Fred are all friends and we just left them about 2 weeks ago. Fred (who is a very close friend) is a little upset about the artistic license that was taken in the description of the rhino encounter. They did not run from the rhino. In any event, the course is famous in South Africa and those who come through it are highly sought after.

Sorry I'm a little groogy. What I meant was the rangers who complete the full course are in demand, not people who do the 4 day bush skills course.

Dennis,

With 4 days training, and your previous elephant encounters, you might given Beaven a run for his money.
