imgordonmd: This was a typical road through one of the grassland areas of many of the Nature or Game Reserves.
imgordonmd: Following a very rainy summer (December and January there) the Orange River is still flooding the lowlands along its banks.
imgordonmd: This is the concrete water crossing on this road. These were common sights because most of the parks are next to or have creeks running through them. The concrete keeps the roadbed from washing out everytime there is a heavy rain.
imgordonmd: Whoa Nellllly! Down a 35 degree incline with potholes, ruts, a water crossing at the bottom and then up a 25 degree rocky, bumpy road on the other side. Kind of like a real life "Disneyland ride,"
imgordonmd: Here is a place where the roadbed has washed out at some point in time. They have just placed a bunch of large rocks in the hole to fill it back in.
imgordonmd: This isn't a dirt road; clay road or gravel road - it's a rocks road. A road like this just beats the snot out of the underside of a car.
