I lived and taught in Suakoko, Liberia @ Cuttington University, 54 years ago! I remember Nimba Mtn as a lusciously green majestic Mtn just at the early stages of iron ore mining! I have some interesting slides and photos of my many trips to Nimba! I am viewing your video for the third time! Nostalgic and sad! Thank you. John T. Wolfe, Jr., Ph.D.

Love your video clips from Liberia. I was in Yekepa during the 1980's did you go up to the top you have to go to the left of the blue lake and there you should find a pool (at least it was there when I was there last time) you can have a swim and view the national park on the south side of Mt Nimba. The next place you should have visited is there should be a Big hut on the West side of Mt Nimba with a spectacular view. To get there you have to ride the old road up Mt Nimba. I can't see on your film if you took the new LAMCO road up the mountain passing the old loading silos or if you tock the old LAMCO road (longer but much more beautiful)... Good luck on your journey.

David Johansson we actually took both roads - the first part is from the old one (as the rangers said it’s much nicer and we do the rest if we still have time afterwards...), the second part is passing by the silos. But we missed for sure out on the pool you are describing - it’s the fault of the rangers broken down motorcycle as we had to do explore that part alone 😂. Were you there as a traveler or for work?

How wonderful they treated you so well and what a breakfast 👍 I met a wonderful German lady who was living in Sierra Leone and whilst we were talking she asked me if the poor roads were ''ungemütlich'' on my bike, a new to me then amazingly descriptive German word I have used ever since, I remembered as your accent is so similar! Take care, thanks again for sharing.

After all they seem to cope well with the tough terrain and carry more passengers, and you wouldn’t get all those bananas in your Mosko Moto’s would you?😅. Well Miss GOT2GO I’ve GOT2GO 2sleep 💤.

As a help for future motorcyclists, can you list a set of things that got broken on the motorcycles while on the African journey? I think Africa poses different kind of challenges for the motorcycle and the body. So far, I've seen the clutch plate and the clutch lever issues. May be more.

Lamco, the company that initiated the Yekep iron ore mine in the early 60s did not manufacture any steel. The ore was transported to the coast, processed to pellets with high concentration of iron content and then exported to actual steel factories in Europe, the US and elsewhere.
@Got2Go
@Got2Go 4 жыл бұрын
Ah, very interesting. Now it’s part of arcelor Mittal - which I think is a steel company. I am actually not sure at all if the old factory that we were looking for was a steel factory - or maybe just one for the iron ore. I actually have not thought about it until I read your comment. 😅
@petergaul1740
@petergaul1740 4 жыл бұрын
@@Got2Go Arcelor is indeed a steel company, and exactly like its predecessors it exports the ore to be turned to steel on other continents. What you were looking for was not a factory, but the huge crusher plant building that would break down the large boulders of earth/ore that were blasted out of the mountain. I grew up in Yekepa in the 60s and 70s and my father essentially ran the crusher up there during that time. The silo facility in your video at the bottom of the mountain was connected to that crusher by 3 stretches of very long conveyor belts. The ore trains would be loaded under the silos for their trip to the coast(Buchanan). I had asked one of my friends and former neighbors still living near Yekepa that if he saw you guys to buy you a Liberian Club Beer, but unfortunately you probably had already moved on to Ivory Coast due to the lag between when you visit a place to when you get to post videos. Anyway, thanks for the beautiful visuals! Weiterhin gute Reise!

Rod Holmes I don’t know how hat happened on this journey - I normally drop a motorcycle as soon as I look at it 😂. Maybe I decided to not drop it that often this time because my travel partner does it all the time (even if it doesn’t look like that: he is as well a better rider than I. What I didn’t mention in the video is that he dropped the bike behind me because I had some problems riding up some loose stones - so he had to slow down to not run into me and got a bit too slow to get over that lose stones....).
