I was just thinking this morning that we were long overdue for a Dondo trip report. Thanks as always for the awesome photos.

As always a very nice TR and great pictures, thanks!

Thanks for the comments, guys!

Ike, yeah, it was long overdue. In a way, it felt like I was coming home after a long absence.

Thom, it's great to still have you as a reader.
