Hi @RiadJL. Unfortunately not. Sorry about it. Thanks for asking.

Dear Desertnauts.

Let's get ready for a relaxing, enjoyable weekday drive, following camels' tracks, looking for heards, which during this season also should have a lot of baby camels. We'll focus on the area closest to Lisaili, and toward Murqaab. Let's hope to have as many photo ops as possible. 

The meeting point has been published, at Lisaili's camel track.

The convoy order is the following:

@Lala G in Second Lead

@Hani Howeedy at #3

@Julien Recan at #4, and 

@frederic demolder in Sweep.

Looking forward to see you tomorrow afternoon.
