Camera trap (in the middle of nowhere)

After a 30-40 minutes drive our first stop is a camera trap. Our task is to move it from a post that is held up by heavy rocks to one that is dug into the sand. Katarina is given a shovel and breaks the ground.




But it's slow going. The first layer of sand is easy, but after that it quickly becomes more and more dense eventually to rock. We take it in turns and try to use the metal pole itself as a digging tool.


We probably give up before the ideal depth, but the rock is eventually too much and we stack earth and sand around to keep it stable and attach the camera trap. Katarina uses the skills she learnt at the last camp and helps Georgie complete the camera setup and we all stand around for the first photo.
