3rd day in the wilderness在野外第三天

2025-04-01 Erg Chegaga to Desert 70km gravel/sand 5hrs
Desert (N29°49’10” W06°41’00”)
Day three started from moving out of the camp site. In doing so, we need to drive the truck climbing uphill over sand dunes, then heading east, driving on a dried up riverbed and later a dried up lake.
During lunch hour we stopped at Titanic Restaurant (GPS 29.9434119, -6.3821075) to enjoy the scenery and to relax. The restaurant stood lonely in the middle of nowhere, providing water and food to the travellers, motorists and expedition teams like us. Why it is named Titanic? I had a bit hard time relate it to the ship, maybe for sitting at the bottom of a lake? The lunch was totally local, tea and coffee were superb. I also had a glass bottle Coca Cola. In the afternoon we saw from a distance Morocco Rally racing cars dashing by, set out burst of dust to the air.
Tonight we camp at the edge of dried up lake bottom, wide open, except on the north side by the plateau hill. Cellular signal strength went down to zero.

第三天早上出发先撤出营地，昨天爬沙丘进来，今天需要循原路出去。出去之后我们先是沿着一条干涸的河床行驶，然后在干涸的湖底行进。中午时分车队来到泰坦尼克餐馆 (N29°56’36” W06°22’55”)，大家在这里休息，观看周围的景色。这家餐馆孤零零的开在沙漠中间，为过往游人，摩托车手和我们这样的探险队提供水和食物。为什么给它起名为泰坦尼克？我想不出其中的关联，和它地处湖底有关系吗？午饭是本地特色，茶和咖啡都很棒，我还喝了一个玻璃瓶的可乐。下午我们还看到远处摩洛哥拉力赛的车辆冲过，扬起阵阵沙尘。
今晚的营地在干涸的湖底边缘，周围都是开阔地，只有北侧紧靠着一片平顶土丘。通信信号降到零。Leia mais
