When Herman left to Cooktown with the rest of the group, the plan was for him to drop them off, make sure everything was ok, and drive back and meet us at Kalpowar, our next campsite. He’s such a good friend for Andrew, that he just wanted to be here and support him.
On his way back from Cooktown he took a wrong turn, better yet, did not make a turn at all and ended up way there in the middle of nowhere! Now, this is the Outback! You can drive for hours and not find anything or anyone! We are the only ones here! Once in awhile you run into another race truck, probably lost also, or, if you’re lucky, a ranger. Then you have to literally throw yourself in front of his car to make him stop so you can ask for help! Or, if you see a farmhouse, you go there and ask for directions! That’s exactly what Herman did, and finally made it back at Kalpowar around 4:30 p.m., just in time for dinner!
