This has become an annual overnight camping weekend 40 ks from town which is
then followed by a good 4x4 drive up two more hills. This time we had a good party
on Moon Rock, the moon lit up the country. Some spent the night and some went
home to bed.
After a beautiful sunrise and a big cooked breakfast six cars set off to climb the
big one, Zhekezheke which always has a good test at the bottom. After the rains
the views were stunning and the trails dust free. An early lunch was had by a small
river and someone had to get stuck in the mud. Fortunately Shane managed to get
his Rangie out so we went on to Kite Hill. While driving along the ridge we saw
flashes of light coming from the top of the hill and had no idea what was making
these flashes. On arrival at the top we were greeted by Flossie and Neil trying to
send semaphore messages with a mirror to us. After flying kites for a while we
took the more interesting route down, crossed the river and set off home.
