Feature Program:  Steve and Linda Velasco's African Photo Safari.  Angeles
Chapter Sierra Club members Steve and Linda Velasco will share photos taken
on their recent 6-week journey to Africa.  Their adventure took them to
Rwanda where they trekked for hours through the Parc National de Volcans to
observe three mountain gorilla families.   The next stop was South Africa
where trackers and guides helped discover the indigenous and endangered
African wildlife including wild dogs, Rhinoceros, Elephant and Leopards.
Their journey ended in Namibia where they experienced the hot and desolate
Namib Desert including the mountainous sand dunes of Sossuvlei, the red
Kalahari Desert, a stand of Quiver Trees, one of the ten most endangered
trees on the planet.  The journey continued on to Luederitz where there were
wild horses living in the stark desert and the abandoned diamond rush town
of Kolmanskuppe built during the turn of the last century.  The local legend
says the diamonds were literally lying on the ground.  The town is now being
consumed by the ever-shifting sand dunes.  During their time in Namibia they
discovered a surprisingly varied selection of wild inhabitants living in the
unforgiving desert environment.
