Burning the land before planting is still common, alternatively, composting is being taught

Hot peppers at the market

Beautiful stretch of northern Liberia, north of Ganta.


About 20k outside of Ganta, a front wheel bearing started to squeal. After a few tears over the Shagin wagon, we turned around, hopeful we could even make it back to town.

With the help of the hospital's mechanics, a new spindle, hub, and bearings, we drove home Sunday. Luckily there are enough of these mini buses laying all over, that a spindle and hub were found.

This is how we fed the diesel wagon - oddly it took more fuel to come back. They say the fuel is thinned out as you get further away from Monrovia.

Though we didn't make it to the Nimba mountain mine area, it was good fun to try. Your first plan in Africa, is rarely followed through - plan B, C - Z, is where the fun begins!
