Subject:Pictures of Bush Bars from South Afrika
From:Joel Cort

Hi All,

Just got these pics from a co-worker who came back from S.A. and
Zambia where he witnessed this year's Solar Eclipse along with the
NASA team.

I had asked him to shoot pics of any Vanagons he saw there.

Attached are two of the shots he took showing two different bush
bars.

Enjoy....and sorry for the downloads to all who did not want to see
it.
