Trip North

Well this was a bit of an adventure. The country hasn’t quite set up the tourism infrastructure you may be use to back home. We had a map, 4 wheel drive and a Qatar explorer guide. We were looking for ruins, forts and ancient drawings. We discovered that the roads on the map clearly didn’t define their quality. While we were in the 4wd, Stu, Sue and Lynne and Kerry from the early years team were in a car. I think their vehicle took a hammering as some of the secondary roads were…interesting. We had lunch in a family park and then went looking for ruins and rock piles. Didn’t find all that we were looking for. Must have driven past 10-15 sites without realizing. Finally found the site in this photo. There was a man there who talked with Colleen about its history and how as the town up the road developed and had better services people just moved away.
