Adventurers!
Last chance! For several months we at the Tektite Source
(http://TektiteSource.com) have been
working to get some adventurers together for a trip into the Libyan Desert glass
strewn field in southeastern Egypt. We still need a few more folks to get
the trip confirmed. The plan is to make the two week trip
during late February-Early March, 2003 in order to catch the best weather
window. The cost will be about $2500 per person, not including your
arrangements to reach and depart Cairo. Logistics will be handled by http://www.fjexpeditions.com/.
These folks have been leading expeditions into the region mostly to look at rock
art, etc. This will be the first trip focused exclusively on Libyan Desert
glass. Visit their site for details, and feel free to contact them
directly with questions. The Tektite Source is not in this for
profit----we just want to go and need at least six more team members if we are
to arrange a trip that emphasizes collecting. Other expeditions offered by
this organizer typically spend a half day or so looking for LDG if the area
happens to fall on their route.
This is a major adventure trip, involving about five days
cross-country travel through sand seas with dunes up to 300m tall, ONE
WAY. We'll spend about 4 days in the collecting area, then return if we
have enough fuel and water to make it out----
We need to finalize the team (limited by logistics to 8 to 10
individuals only, first come, first served) within the next few weeks, so let us
and fjexpeditions know if your are interested.
Cheers,
Norm Lehrman
