We spent New Year in the "Eye of Africa"...700 km from Nouakchott with stops at Chinguetti and the ancient caravan city of Ouadane. Sun going down over the west wall of the "Eye" on the last day of 2021: The Eye is pictured from space here.. Located here: It is a complex structure. The Atlas Mountains in Morocco and Algeria are in fact an extension of the Appalachians. But this dome has sedimentary rocks on the outside and violent igneous indications on the inside. Geologists have had a hard time explaining it. It just took a DGS contributor a minute to figure it out. It's an indication of previous earth giants shooting sporting clays. Elementary my dear Doctor. (Way too much drop for Stanton).

Looks like an interesting trip - going all over Africa on a motorcycle is on my fantasy trip list.

Gene, if you were properly dressed with kepi etc, that last photo would look like something straight out of "Beau Geste".

And you wondered why the Brits short of shrugged in 1885 and said...."well...ok...ok...France..we'll (reluctantly) let you have the place (he he he)." Actually it's beyond beautiful but with an ethnography that is both fascinating and deadly...the shatter belt between the Arab and Berber/Tuareg north and the Senegal/Niger river tribes and nomadic Peuhl's and all of them practice slavery.
Two types of deserts "Reg" = stoney. "Erg" = sandy. Half and half in the Sahara. But you know the place Larry...you were there (as Walter Cronkite used to say).

I guess that's as close as we are going to get when it comes to proof that Reilly actually built guns in a real gun factory that employed some 300 gunmakers. If Ted's recent Thread about woodstoves was so off-topic as to be quickly deleted, then this one shouldn't stand a chance. Especially considering Argo44's recent comments calling for the censorship of topics or posts not germane to the stated purpose of this forum. Imagine if everyone posted Threads of photos of their non-doublegun vacations? Happy Patriot's Day!
A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.
