Ethiopia
lies between the Equator and the Tropic of
Capricorn. Its area is 1,112,000 square
Kilometers. Most parts of it are elevated
plateau rising from 2100 - 4400 meters. It
is divided into climate regions marked as
Depression" which at some points descends
more than 90 meters below sea level.
Majestic mountains, imposing peaks,
alluring and glamorous gorges, ravishing
tablelands, verdant pasturelands,
luxuriant tropical regions and the
magnificent Rift Valley are some of its
physical formations.
Splendid
landscapes sparsely wooded semi-desert
tracts, tremendous and unfamiliar physical
relief and the infrequent wilderness are
some of the captivating, astonishing and
outlandish attractions that Ethiopia
offers. As a land of great physical
contrast, its different territories are
scenic and awe-inspiring. The innumerable,
magnificent crater lakes characterized by
their aquatic life, the alarming abysses,
the interweaving rivers, the enticing and
graceful waterfalls, the extraordinary
Savannah, the unusual wild domains and the
uncommon natural phenomena in some parts
of this bounteous country are
mystery-shrouded and bizarre.
Fascinating
as the Ethiopian history might be, even
more so is its less known pre-history. The
discovery in Ethiopia in 1974 of a 3.3
million year fossilized skeleton of a
distinct human being has confirmed the
long-standing assumption that mankind
originated in Africa (Ethiopia). It has
also proved since 1994 that Ethiopia is
the origin of man's earliest ancestry
Ardipithecus Ramidus dating back to 4.4
million years. Scientists have confirmed
that the skeleton was the remains of a
woman whom they, somewhat romantically,
christened as Lucy.
The
cradle of mankind with a recorded history
of 3000 years! Mosaic of unique cultures
and home of the world's rarest animal and
bird life. The history of Ethiopia, as the
story of the interaction of diverse groups
on one side and their collective response
to an external challenge on the other has
fascinated generations of scholars. A
prominent Italian scholar, Conti Rossini,
described Ethiopia as museo dei popoli,
the museum of peoples or, as we say
nowadays, "a land of nations and
nationalities. More to come, including
tour itineraries.

Tourism has topped our agenda for several
years, and an interview with Kenya's Mike
Kirkland paved the way. A supporter since
day one, Mike introduced us to the East
African Safari Rally. The exciting event
starts and ends in Mombasa -- under the
giant horns in town center. Mike opened
the door to a wealth of information
through the Rally's web site. The world's
greatest classic car rally will cover a
marathon 4,200 km over nine days and once
again take the crews through the remote
and beautiful landscapes of Kenya and
Tanzania.

a large part of two exciting decades getting to
know the world of automobiles, fuel systems and
recreational vehicles, meeting the people who make

with this effort was a massive program on

The
year is 1942. The month is February and our whole
world is gripped by total war. For the moment, Axis
forces hold the initiative, and for weeks following
the Pearl Harbor disaster, every ship leaving North
America's Pacific ports is threatened. The
president's directive is clear: Furnish a supply
route to the network of northern airfields - an
overland route to supplement our air and sea lanes;
one secure from attack." Approval comes swiftly,
and the task begins, with end points set up by the
military at Dawson Creek, BC. and Big Delta,
Alaska. Overnight, the entire North mobilizes, as
the rugged Trail of '42 rivals the famous Trail of
'98 in worldwide focus. Those of us living in the
Yukon at the time felt suddenly in the forefront of
the action. What some called North America's
greatest construction project since the Panama
Canal began as a marvel of mobility at the time.
U.S. Authorities combed the entire coast, seeking
available water transportation, creating a
patchwork flotilla of yachts, cargo vessels, tugs
fish boats and barges.
