My 2nd attempt at Prince Albert was cut fairly short. The 1st time I was here I made it all the way out to where the road deteriorates into a creek. I stepped out of my truck and “CRUNCH” – the entire ground was covered with crickets! Hundreds of thousands of crickets; in some places bubbling out of the ground like a spring. After some light exploration I gave up, mostly because of the cricket festival – I didn’t want to impact any sort of mating, breeding or migration.
This time, the soft, muddy roads gave way to slow driving and led to an impassable water-over-road situation (see pic above). Plus, the road only gets worse from this point. I’ll try again, but next time during the dry season.
