Update on Fish River

Fish River Canyon didnt happen, hours before we were to catch the train to Keetmanshoop, Namibian Wildlife decided to close the canyon as the water in the canyon was reported stagnant, and other hikers got sick from drinking it. Since it is impossible to carry enough drinking water for a 7 day hike, despite the will, we had to take our gear and backpacks and start planning another trip. Disappointed for sure, but such is life, these are things we cannot control. Vicki and I decided to go to Spitzkopp, Brandberg (where we stayed at Ugab Wilderness camp, where the Namibian Desert Elephant had come through the camp just the night before), a Rhino Camp with nightly lion tracks in the campgrounds (supposidly a very shy lion who just came out at night), and then drive the Skeleton coast down to Swakopmund. We were able to do some hikes and see some of the desertet yet beautiful parts of Namibia.
