In lion country near Mt. Kilimanjaro we met Russ of Salt Lake City. We rode the African veldt together for seven weeks before our trails parted in Rhodesia. Later Arlene and I received a letter from our friend, Russ Scovile, Associate Director of the Peace Corps in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: "...When I left you at Karila Dam I continued south to Basutoland and Swaziland before riding north again towards East Africa and Ethiopia. Seventeen thousand miles in four months. I carried full camping gear and a week's supply of food. My R27 needed only a speedometer cable, a set of points, a spark plug, and a front fender job (my fault) during that period." -From Danny Liska's diary of his trip from the North Cape in Norway to the South Cape at the Southern tip of Africa - 40,000 miles on his BMW R60.
