UPDATE FROM SOUTH AFRICA


We landed in northern Africa and went to find the damaged lines in the Congo. Once we got there and ran some tests, we discovered that the problem with the lines was actually in the wetlands of Southern Africa along the Zambezi River. Most if our gear has been held up in customs but we were allowed a few basic essentials.

We had to take a fucking train for god knows how many miles (seemed like thousands) then a chopper picked us up and flew us to the newly found spot. Because of all the trees, we had to land about 20 miles away and hike in through a bunch of swamp crap. This part of Africa sucks ass. In the Congo we mostly had to deal with the dangers of Gorillas but here in the wetlands, it is more of a swampy, high plains kinda thing and there are lions, hippos, rhinos, and a lot of other dangerous animals that seem to be following us. On the flight in we did see some zebras though so Lev may still get his wish.

Hey DarkJedi, I just noticed your flag and the funny thing is we did hire an american who is now living along the Zambezi River, to be our guide. The dude kinda looks like a pirate. I will post his picture below.

With the help of Nyght (the pirate guide) and our GPS, we were able to locate the bad section of wire. There is a lot of rhino activity in the area and it looks like the animals may have severed the underwater lines. The rhinos are very protective of the area and they sure as hell did not like us there. One of them actually tried to charge us. Thank god he was on the other side of the river. Once the line was repaired we discovered that there was another line down in the area. We hope to find it tomorrow.

Well, that about does it for the amount of time I have before this shitty satellite connection is out of range so I gotta go. Rest well knowing that we are working 24/7 to restore the Jesus Dialer lines. We have been video taping some of the events and hope to broadcast a feed of them in a day or two.

Please wish us luck on the rest of our journey.

Peace
