Things take a turn for the worst in Liberia 🇱🇷 |S7E48|

In this episode I am trying to make it to the border of Liberia and Côte d'Ivoire. The jungle ride is fantastic, until I encounter a stretch of road which becomes worse and worse. This is the day that my ride through West-Africa changes drastically.

    I am from Liberia. This is what corruption looks like folks. When money is allocated to fix roads and they are diverted, this what happens. I am sorry for my poor country.

If Noraly wants to stop riding ever she will easily find work as an editor or even a producer. Da best.

She gives a ground-level view of life and landscapes in so many places, offers interesting background information, seeks out local stories and experiences, and has an overall good and cheerful attitude that helps her navigate sometimes-difficult circumstances.”

Can't imagine the difficulty just walking through the mud weighted down with riding gear. Heavy breathing. Noraly could barely walk through yet still goes ahead to help push another bike. Noraly stretches out her arm for a pull to get her own body unstuck. The man obliges and stretches his arm....more than once. Had her boots not been securely strapped on she would have ended up in barefoot also. "She is Strong" This we know. Peace, ❤❤❤

    This story has nothing to do with Itchy Boots but more with Liberia and is funny. A friend of mine, Ron, graduated from a "very high" school for engineers / car technicians in the Netherlands. The H.A.T.S. Apeldoorn. It was about 1960. He got a job at the Firestone Rubber Plantation in Harbel, Liberia. He was shopmanager of the shop where all machines that were needed at the plantation were repaired and serviced. To make some more money Ron wanted to go to the Port of Monrovia, to assemble trucks that arrived by ship. But how do you come to Monrovia? By Honda CR 300? Well, the priest in Harbel had an idea .....he sold Ron his Piper Cub Airplane. And he gave Ron flying lessons. So from then, Ron flew, every weekend, from Harbel to Monrovia in his Cub, over the tree tops. I think with one or two of his mechanics. Freedom the Liberian way. But after a few years of flying and assembling, Ron fell in love with Joke. He married her and she came with him to Liberia, But.... under ONE condition......Ron had to sell the Piper Cub. Too dangerous flying over the tree tops of the rainforest , Joke said. And as all men know: the man is the head of the family but the woman is the neck......and when the neck turns, the head goes with it. Funny right?

    I worry Alaska won't either! My guess was the noise was a stuck valve but, realistically, the odds say it was an automatic cam chain tensioner. If the cam chain is loose, it can be nursed along with a steady hand on the throttle and keeping the revs low. Get too much slop going and it can slip a few teeth making it out of valve timing. It didn't sound quite right to me when it was cranking at the very end of the video. Hopefully she's not stuck in the middle of a sea of mud with an Alaska that can't run.

Don't mean this as being disrespectful of her abilities. Long legs/light narrow bike & momentum are only solution to that type of mud. Once you slow down, chances of a tip over greatly increase. Every tip over fouls the grips, gloves, etc. It snowballs form there. Mud like that isn't exactly fun although ANY time on your dirt bike is better than being in the office.

Your bike has someone else on it, you are in front of the mud stuck and you're waaaaaay out in the middle of basically nowhere. Engine might fail, ankles might be sprained and if she faceplants down into mud with all that gear and both feet stuck, she might become a permanent landscape down there unless someone pulls her up. Very high endurance and strength mentally to be honest. Cool. She really is strong like that gentleman on the bike said.

But the first video I see upon my return is this fantastic battle of Noraly-wits and endless mud; I see the mud lost. My good friend Noraly, you are the spirt of fortitude and resilience, most men would have quit a long time ago! God has given you a guardian angel in every country you have travelled in the unselfish locals that have given their best to help a complete stranger with no intent of being compensated, that is what this world needs more of!

    When things get really bad, Noraly reverts to her native language. I wonder if the translations were accurate. If I were in that situation, I think I would have used different words. "She is crazy." "She is strong." Those are great quotes for Noraly. I laughed at both of them. When they said she is crazy, I wanted to reply, "You have no idea!" I remember when she was almost washed off a mountain in South America. That was crazy!. The only way I could watch was that I knew she survived because she posted the episode. What a great video!
