After following for hours a track in the bed of a wadi, I camp right in the middle of the canyon (track continues like that all the way up to the plateau).

As the sun disappear I could hear/see people on foot paths on the side of the cliff... probably going back to their villages. Crazy way back home.

Morning coffee

Getting out the wadi bed to side track

All the way up to a nice gravel road on top of the plateau at 2000m altitude.

Didn't took it but seems the road up the plateau is kind of epic on its own style also.

inspiring as always.

Oh boy. This desert boy approves. Looks like epic desert camping.

I was half expecting to see a Jawa or two in the pictures.

Haha yes that was the kind of vibe

While I was pushing a bit to arrive to this spot, by a very hot day with cab ventilation in full blast, that I got the only breakage of the trip... The blower quit working...


So next morning I went on dismantling the dashboard...

Those metal frames run along the entire dash so not sure how you are supposed to remove the blower if you need to change it...

But hopefully for now this is not the source of the issue... Applying direct 12V to the blower it works perfectly fine.


Oh and of course I brought a full box of tools and a full box of spare parts but I forgot my multimeter so was quite limited in what I could test.
Fuse was good, relay clicked, can't be the resistor as high speed isn't working either...

So had to fall back to the old way for the end of the trip...

Since I'm back home I tested everything I could with a multimeter... I have continuity on every cables, breaker is good, 12V coming to the relay, good ground... I'm still not sure what is not working, the only think I see possible is that the relay click but is still bad inside... I need to make a mini test rig to test it.
