The T Junction, commonly referred to as "The Beach Turn Off"
In The section Tall Tales, there is a story that goes with this photo..
The famous T junction .. many an under the weather person coming back from a beach party , Golf club ..or Yacht club would at night in their confused state try to " overtake the truck with the chevron on the back " with disastrous consequences .. I have in my time seen quite a few sorry looking vehicles lying damaged in the sand ... The other venue where many parties of note occured was the log cabin .. is it still in existence ??
Sandy, I'm drinking beer again, waiting for the rugger to start, braai is about to be lit, and Yes! the Log Cabin is still there, and is now run by the Off Road Club, and is one of the more stronger and well supported clubs in town. In fact I drove past it this morning, but neglected to take a pic...... but I will soon.....
They organize Dune ride trips into those big dunes east of town once a month and get people bringing their sand cars from as far afield as Springbok.....
It's one of the few clubs that you can go to still at 10h00 on a saturday morning and leave on sunday at 06h00......
;D
Ps,,, u wanna beer bud?
I was just thinking, was'nt there a water tap somewhere behind the T-Junction, I always found it strange to be able to drink water in the middle of nowhere! Anyone else remember this tap?
???
There's one out by the 'solitary tree' I think it was a watering station for the riding club
I remember that tap, very good for those walking to the riding club....
Yes! I'm redeemed, for a moment I thought I was traveling down the same road as Barbara, getting a bit unsure about the past..... phew! all those years of Punchcard towers are starting to catch up with me...
:D
