More camping observations

We spent the night before at the Gariep dam where the Quella music festival was on. I am still not sure what it is all about, but the website said that it is to promote the Gariep. Well I suppose that it is a reason. It would appear that the target market was the local region, as in the Freestate and immediate areas, boy and did they arrive with their caravans, double cab bakkies, flat cars, oldish Golfs and then all and sundries, as in freezers, fridges, electric equipment and much more. There were "potjie" stands, skottel braais, weber braais and pretty much everything and I think even the kitchen sink, in some places. It must take a month of Sundays to pack it all up. This all looked like stuff collected over years and part of "camping equipment". No Yuppie designer stuff here, like at Addo. I think the folk at Addo would not be seen dead with much of the camping neccesities that the Gariep folk had.
