Tue 7th - Thu 9th August - Canning Stock Route

Day 23 (Tue 7/8/18)    Well 12  -  Well 15

Due to Paul’s sand flag issues… ie. getting caught in the trees.  He has carefully and strategically considered all options and worked on combining solutions from all inputs to come up with a modified design for his sand flag.  In other words he has taped the flag closer to the centre of the car rather than on the corner where it was caught by every close by tree.

Then out on to the track again, although as we are not travelling far today… time to take in the little things.
