The Mountains (I have forgotten their name) on the border of Kenya and Sudan

The Lokichoggio airstrip was used much by the military during the war in Sudan. There are multiple disabled planes like this one deteriorating and giving evidence of the trouble just five years ago. There are "No Cameras" signs around and it is illegal to take photos on the airport grounds. This was taken from just outside. : )

Lokichoggio, or "Loki" is a portal for entry into Sudan/Kenya located close to the border. The primary tribe is the Turkana. Many NGOs, including SIM use the airstrip as they go into do relief, development and missionary work in Sudan. I've spent three nights at the guesthouse in Loki on my way into Sudan on two occasions. At this time there are no commercial flights into my part of Sudan so we overnight in Loki for a charter flight to take us to the Doro dirt airstrip just a short walk from our tukuls. Doro pics will be coming soon. I'm so busy with the work, learning, adjusting, etc. that I've not taken time to upload photos yet.
