<BR>Nice hot showers = longer showers = more waste water

<BR>In the hard-packed clay of the Northern Serengeti we had to dig a pretty
<BR>deep drainage ditch to accomodate the excess shower drainage (the soil
<BR>wouldn't absorb water easily). Taking a look at it on Saturday, I noticed
<BR>that we barely made it and 1 or 2 more showers would have meant a flooded
<BR>campsite.

<BR>Very true. The group I camped with had to pump out sumps every day to keep
<BR>up with the demand...fortunately we were camped next to the Dragon
<BR>Fosse...others are not so lucky to have a sump excess pumping-dumping area.
