The cows in the road shot is my favorite.. but the others are
interesting documentation... I take it your better half wasn't so
interested in taking that trek .. good thing you cam back in one piece
or it might have been too memorable an anniversary! wish I could still
do that kind of walk though

We are enjoying ouselves at Crystal Spring's Mountain Resort about 200Km
S of Phalaborwa. Quite a drop in temperature at 2000m. Yesterday was my
wife's (Rev. Ann's) birthday & our Wedding Anniversary so we went to the
nearby Historic Museum Town, Pilgrim's Rest, for Lunch. The Town has its
origins in a gold rush in 1878 & was soon inhabited by hordes of
Delvers. All the buildings were of wood & corrugated iron constuction.
The town gets its name from a Delver known as The Pilgrim who found a
huge nugget & declared that "The Pilgrim can now rest". The town is now
preserved as a Historical Monument. If you would like to read the
history of Pilgrim's Rest, go here:

The 12 images in this album give some idea of the ambience of the place.
The descriptions are on the images. Normally there is a continual
stream of tour buses bringing in masses of tourists every day but they
have dried up because of Covid & the Tourist Traps are struggling to
stay afloat.
