The beginning of the Sahara desert is very desolate. It is also starting to heat up during the day. Camel caravans and nomadic tribes are starting to appear as well. The Sahel is just around the corner. We spent most of the first day at the border getting out of Morocco and into Mauritania. Slow and steady seems to be the system here. No one is in a rush to do anything. We had several bush camps before the border. Incredible scenery on the coast. No problems so far. All is well with the truck and crew on board. Illness ahead, it has been assured!
