Forgot to add, THANKS Ivoss for the link, I for 1 really appreciate it ;);).
-
I agree with Saba, very cool reading and I am definitely wanting to find out what they find in their travels..
-
This trip is so exciting…these folks are ALL my friends! In fact, they asked me to go..
Time and $$ kept me home, but this is going to be so very exciting to see what they find, how many they bring back and if the BCOA will accept them.
Laurie is a wonderful with her camera, and she took her good one, so we should be treated by some great pic.
I pray they have safe, healthy travel.
What an adventure. -
Thanks for the link Ivoss, it made interesting reading.

Yes, that is correct
-
I am following them as well..this is exciting..

I am one of the 'dreamers'. It made me very jealous reading this story. I do hope they can find some pure Basenjis. I would think that they are so rare even in deepest darkest Africa. I will be following this with interest.
-
It all seems very interesting to me…until I got to the ridiculous "carbon offset" nonsense. Just another tax. That's all it is.
I hope the trip is successful.
-
I read about the trip to Cameron too, so interesting and way cool..yes I want updates..and I hope they manage to bring home some wonderful pure b's..
-
I know James will bring back a dog or 2…Bryan was pretty ridged on what he wanted.
He said if they won't pass BCOA, he isn't interested in bringing them back.
James brother is going to be shipping crates over to them, when the decide how many they will be bringing back...so, the adventure continues. -
Oh, I have their trip plans, Lisa sent it to me.
I wonder if she would mind I share it so you know where they plan to be at what time…
Maybe I better post to her ask.
I will do that, and see what she says. -
I don't do Twitter, but Bryan did send this post to the EBC members...so sorry if you have read it.
