We made it. Eastern Mauritania. Posts will be sporadic and dependent on a reliable satellite uplink.
Here's a Google Earth satellite image of the enormous wadi (seasonally dry river valley) we are entering in the photo above. Temperature at noon: 117 F.
We're camping along this ridge before taking on the salt pan at dawn. Our Tuareg guide says the black spot in the middle is an Algerian Army transport vehicle that was looted and burned by rebels last month.

That top photo looks like it could be from the Mars Rover. Excellent pics, Doug. Great clarity.
Have a great time.
I am sooo jealous.
