Shofar

At each site the GPS tracker takes us there's a collection of stones or branches to mark the next coordinates that are left in a half cut cola can. But it's not always obvious and still requires some careful attention. This one, however, was easy to pick out, topped with a huge Kudu horn. The kudu is now a much more rarely seen antelope out here. They used to be far more numerous but overhunting sent them into hiding, alongside outbreaks of diseases like rinderpest and rabies that decamated the population. Kudu horn I also read is sometimes used as a shofar in Jewish ceremonies. Go figure.
