Travelling in a convoy has lots of benefits.  We love the people we are traveling with (shout out toTeam Deathwish, Sandbox Warriors and “If it doesnt work,  hit it”as well as a few other teams we meet up with on occasion), we do a great job of taking care of eachother and there is an added sense of security when there are four cars driving through police checkpoints on the network of African highways instead of just one.

However, one of the disadvantages of travelling in a group is that our schedules are dictated by a variety if priorities. This usually is not an issue, but when otherswant to drive, drive, drive it makes getting to the internet difficult!

That being said, we plan to step it up with the blog and get caught up on posts. We hope to post about Western Sahara and Mauritania within the next 24 hours, so check back soon for more updates and pictures from the Sandbox Savants!!!

Love from beautiful Bamako ….
