Spend morning digging up tree and grass roots to stain them for a symbiotic fungus. Catch a spotted bush snake moving through the Acacia trees. As we’re driving down the road to the station, see a load of vultures in the tree. Stop, smell decay, and find a dead eland not far from the road. Spend a good chunk of the afternoon finding a source of heat to boil solutions, eventually find a friend with portable gas stove. When cleaned office a couple weeks ago, found kids’ soft baseball and bat set. A couple of us take it out for a spin. After dinner plan to go on a game drive, but the spot light doesn’t work in the LandRover, so we end up drinking on the veranda instead. Learn the following day that some folks saw two lionesses lazily leaving the eland carcass…
