Last Updated on February 5, 2021 by Red Nomad OZ They’d scented fresh blood. And in the deathly silence of twilight as dusk fell over the moonlit plain, I could hear them coming for me.

Last Updated on May 4, 2021 by Red Nomad OZ The Dutchman’s Stern Hike ‘Visit the Crazy Horse – but not on Monday’ the log book entry read.
