Dad went to doe some surveying in the Karoo yesterday morning. At around 5PM he sends us this MMS: 
At around lunch-time, about 40m into the river (roughly 8m from the edge), the F250 took a dive. A local tried to tow it out with his Toyota 4×4 bakkie (pick-up), but could only manage to stir the water. A tractor snapped a steel cable (twice) before dragging the beast out to dry land.
She be busted.
I drove through to Van Wyksdorp at 9PM, picked up the crew just after midnight and headed back home.
I’m a bit tired this morning, but I feel “connected” again.
If ever you need to touch base and get a bit of grounding – take a midnight run under the stars.
