Nostalgia!!

Hi Bestbooties
Yes the Camel road started at Al Wariyah I think, and came out on to the big multilane Highway just outside Hofuf. You had to go over the top of the Riyahd-Damam Highway and keep going until the big refinery, then there was a slip road near Mubarraz, which took you onto the Hofuf Highway. You had to go through Ayn Dar.
I remember one trip coming home during the Gulf War, there were loads of yanks based in the desert, Patriots and all, and in one village there were some Humvees parked up and the troops were all standig taking turns at the phone box, there was a shop advertising Burgers, and a butchers two doors along with a camels head hanging on a meat hook outside, advertising fresh meat!!
I kept going but it seemed popular with the yank soldiers.
That road was so dangerous at night, because the camels were just wandering about across the road, in the dark, I nearly hit them on a few occasions, they never had any lights on!! a bit like the Iraqi trucks and the Syrian trucks.
