Complications of "bush travel"


Traveling in the bush has it’s challenges, 
one of which is lining up the needed elements to be able to upload a blog entry. 
With all the technology available at our fingertips in America, 
it may seem hard to imagine being in a place where the internet is 
either completely unavailable or the bandwidth is so low it cannot even send a simple email. 
Radio towers still need electricity, and we also need electricity 
to charge our computers and phones if they are to be of any use to us, 
not to mention the need for modems with enough power to connect to the internet.  

This week, several days in the more remote bush areas have rendered us incapable of blogging, 
so please bear with us as we work to catch up on the interim days 
when we travel back to more accessible areas to purchase supplies and prepare for more travel.
