    Mkuze and Hluhluwe

    Hluhluwe After some research and looking at the plans, I hope to visit Hluhluwe Reserve while in South Africa. I've read that this place has self-drive tours through the park, has anyone done these and recommend them? If I was interested in an open game drive, how do I organize/schedule this?

    not really about computers...

    I am looking for a small, handheld speaker system to use for my ipod. I am looking for this for owling and similar activities. I have seen some speakers, but they all seem boom-box size, not small enough to easily carry around. I have one for a CD player, but it does not work with the ipod.

    This hawk screamed at me as I watched it from the road. It was sitting on a pole surrounded by a overgrown field. I am thinking immature Gray Hawk, but it had a lot more streaking that I had seen on any of the other young Gray Hawks on the same trip. Thanks, Corey
