  • In this episode, I am leaving Ghana and cross the border into Togo. It's a stunning mountainous area to cross and the views are magnificent everywhere. After some confusing border formalities, I scale Mount Agou : Togo's highest mountain.

It has some scars to prove it has gone places and seen adventures. This recent ride was two nights camping out. Rain and Odin with his hammer all night. Wet pack up in the morning. The morning of the long ride yesterday was spent on my sleeping mat under a tree. I was too tired when I arrived to set up a tent and it didn't appear to bring rain. I slept in my Gryphon gear. It wasn't too cold until morning when I had to add a blanket. It's never too late to have an adventure. Now I have to rest up a few days. It doesn't get easier when one is nearly 73.

      I agree that the clutch rebuild was at least successful. However, when Noraly reaches a better appointed shop, she should really have the bike checked thoroughly.
      A lot of unseen damage can occur when small bits of sand or other debris are introduced into the internal working parts.
      This is not a criticism of the mechanic supervising the work. He can only do his best given the substandard enviornment. You can't expect much more than what was provided--especially while adventure touring. Be thankful for small gifts.

    I discovered Noraly by chance in a comment on Twitter. For several days now I've been watching her videos, and not without admiration. What a WOMAN! What can I say? What a LADY!
    I'm learning a lot about Africa, my Africa. I travel a lot myself as a missionary and I have to admit that we Africans are the most hospitable people in the world.
    BUT, BUT, BUT, I draw two conclusions from watching these videos:
    1- Our borders inherited from Berlin in 1884 were a bloody and savage dismemberment. It's a real crime to divide families and clans in this way.
    2- The state of structural decay in Africa, everywhere it's the same shameful spectacle. The beauty and wealth of our countries contrast with the poverty and degradation of our states.
    Africa's elites are worse than the speakers in Berlin.
    To Noraly, thank you for taking us with you on your journeys and helping us to discover this beautiful land of Africa.

I was later told that they had not bothered me so much because they showed some respect to "old grey hairs" like me. Good to see that you met some much friendlier types!

    Oh Noraly, your first contact with the guy who was so impressed with you and your trip was so fitting. It seems to me that if more people along your journey knew just how much you have accomplished and the distance you have travelled they would be more like this fella. His reaction was so genuine and like I’m sure my response to you would be. Again the drone footage and accompanying music was just so right and fit properly with the setting. Always a smile on your face and in your voice makes these videos so pleasant and entertaining. Thanks so much for reaching out, Noraly. So happy for you as you continue on. Be well and safe…❤❤❤Rick
