In this episode I am exploring some of the geological wonders of Namibia! Starting with descending into the Brukkaros crater - which is in fact not a crater at all! After a hectic climb, I continue to marvel at the Dolorite intrusions at the Giants Playground near Keetmanshoop. What a day!!

Sitting on my chair in Chicago she took me to a magnificent place that is out of my imagination. This girl is fearless and goes to the areas that I dare not go even in a jeep by myself. God bless her and saves her. She is just one of a kind.
