We reached the last camp!

Today was the transfer to the point of arrival where we will make our last base camp. During the drive the path continued to change, from rocky land to sand. Sand signifies sinking and today the team had to face a couple of times where the off-road vehicles sunk into the sand, even though we have a great driver. The desert though is always insidious and where it appears the dunes are passable we suddenly find ourselves in soft sand where the wheels get blocked and sink. The plates for the wheels of the vehicles from our experience are precious and always solve the problem for the team. During the ride Oscar, Daniele and Renato placed the last water resupply for the expedition, it will the very last.
At the end of the day the support team created the point where Carla and Fabio will complete their extreme and tiring journey and the landscape that surrounds will provide a fantastic view with the color of the sun and the sunset burning bright red.
