Pos Simpor and Kg Rekom Charity Trip Part 2

This village is SPOTLESS No rubbish nothing lying around I think mainly because off heriditary blindness they keep it very clean for people to walk around. Bamboo huts are well made. No electricity or running water.




The clinic is beside this hut.

No Nails all RATAN for the joins in the huts


REgistration and weigh in weight and height


The Pets live inside and are all healthy. Chickens, Dogs and cats:




Then it rained for the first time in a month


The chickens ran over everything

Fark a chicken just crapped in my bag! No its two chickens.

The chickens leave the hut after having their tests done hahaha


Cat did not want to walk on the wet ground even jungle cats hate water.


Ok these guys weigh 45-55kg give them 30-40kg of rice and off they walk so damn strong


Their water supply stopped working as soon as it rained the pipe full of silt from the logging :(


The goodies from Pfizer and us.


The dogs in the chief's hut


MIssion over time to head into danger and the 10k DOWN to Pos SImpo and our camp.







GReen at the highest road point (1,200meters) its all downhill from here and became rather exciting steep descents on fresh slick clay slopes and a chance to play rally driver on the slick roads needless to say GREEN was immaculate to drive in these conditions and a lot of fun. We drifted around corners slipped up and down slopes but at the same time tryuing to keep the trucks safe for the precious Pfizer passengers in the vehicles.


Pos SImpo is near the white patch way below some 500 meters below.


There was a logger HILUX blocking the track below so while we waited for them to get of the track we hammed it up.




Dawn the next day home day


The hill in the background is over 2,000 meters high


Dawn Clouds below at about 400 meters


And more clouds below us.


The mekanix radio call sign


The Pos Simpo chief "ABU" he hada stroke a year ago and appolgises he can no longer walk at the frantic pace he used to he is over 80.


GEtting the pussy out of my truck


The thing under the BA on his shirt is yes a live flying BUG. This kid also spoke perfect english to me first time a ASLI has done so I was shocked. He asked me to learn BAHASA whoich I have now enrolled ina course if he can lern english I can better my Bahasa. HE also took my phone number as the chief is very sick and he knows we have a close bond even if I do not speak Bahasa we have done a bit for their village over the years and only shown us kindness.


The trip down its a long way down to civilisation.


Then we stopped at Gua (Cave) Cha - we have found a new camp site for coming up here at nite perfect place open sheltered caves.




More logs the story for the weekend. Habitat ruined , fish killed, water supplies ruined animals killed and destroyed - gut renching.


Hope you enjoy a little view of the other side of 4x4 jungle driving.

Video is coming later tonite.
