What is interesting about this photo is what it doesn’t show. Only those who were there know that all eyes are looking at the guard dog! The guard dog at the jungle base is so protective that he needs to be tied up whilst visitors are present. Even a guard dog tied up knows his limitations. Unfortunately the camera man (me!) had just stepped inside the limitations of the rope securing ‘our’ guard dog and has the whole in the trousers to show it!
This marked the start of an eventful day at the jungle retreat. Several men went on our overnight excursion with the objective of having good fun, fellowship and work! The work being the clearing of the jungle overgrowth under the electric cables leading to the base. If the trees reach the cables it causes a break in the circuit and an ensuing delay in the return of the much needed electricity to the base.
Clearing the jungle is quite the monotonous task but was spiced up by ‘running away’ from attacking hornets, ‘hopping about’ as unsettled ants scaled legs for a bite of lunch and the odd ‘masked shriek’ as the tree being cut down touch the electric cables and gave the hatchet wielder an electrifying tingle to remember!
