Say hola to Lobster Bob
A river that arrives under a blue sky, with no rain anywhere in sight.
Lobster Bob drives La Mula, LAM-001-VE, the four by four, down into a dry riverbed in Kaokoland, in the north-west of Namibia, inside the oldest desert on Earth.
The sand is flat and firm. The sky is blue in every direction. He has checked the weather where he is. He has not checked the mountains sixty kilometres away, where it rained two days before.
Halfway across, the sand begins to shine. The water arrives the way a door closes: a shine, then wheels, then doors, with branches knocking on her sides. La Mula does not hesitate. She climbs out onto dry ground as if it were an ordinary thing to do before lunch, and Lobster Bob comes out of that riverbed a good deal more humble than he went in.
You will learn why some rivers in Namibia look like sandy roads for years, how rain on faraway mountains can send water across a desert, and why a fifty-five million year old desert and a one-hour flood can both be true at once. Something to hold at dinner tonight.
