Driving Lesson

Time to start the off-road experience so it was off to Wadi Al Baih to test SLS in the Jeep.

There is a project to build a road through one branch of the wadi, however it gets well squeezed between the cliff walls as you proceed.


The end of the road is reached, no where to go but down.


Lock the wheels in, plow through the sand, rocks and dirt and we arrive.
SLS is a natural in the Jeep, nary a glitch in the shift.

Where exactly is an old “farm”, mainly abandoned, with the remains of a stone shelter still standing.

There is also the old graveyard which is traditional Arabic, a simple stone marking the head and no inscription or other marking.

Climb up,

Then examine the view and continue on.

SLS is now hooked on 4WD although his heart will always belong to other vehicles.

Finally we rinse the dust from our throats at the sailing club as dusk falls.

No, he can't get a license before I do darn it! :) Looks like you all had fun though, I love the pictures.

Teaching your offspring to drive accelerates aging exponentially!
