Juba to Maridi

We left Juba today around 10 am and got to Maridi around 8pm. What a ride I'm told that this an important road for South Sudan.  Saw many trucks on it  In all states of mobility.  It is around a 100 mile trip the fastest I saw us go was around 60 kph maybe 40 mph. Not there  very often. Mostly in the 14 to 30 mph range.  About 50 kilometers into trip the right front shockabsober  came loose from the suspension. So we started to baby it a little. Maybe 100 kilometers in the left rear shock just broke. It was quit  a ride.  Only had to ford on river. it was not very deep so no problem. I took the shot of the truck overturned in the middle of the river fording. All the pictures were taken on the trip.
I wanted to put on 3 more pictures but they will not load on this post. I will try to do a second post and put some more on it.
