This photo was taken on the dunes near Cape Town. No one was injured when the tow hitch became a missle.

I found it relative easy to drive there. Sweihan this weekend was more difficult in driving conditions.
If anyone ever goes to Cape Town, I have 2 friends who frequents the Atlantis dunes. The dunes area is controled and you need a permit to enter therefore better to go with a local.
