Seventy Years Ago Safari

24 Nov

Seventy years ago – during, prior to, and following the Thanksgiving holidays of 1947 – Errol was planning a major hunting expedition.

With what other person did Errol plan this safari, and in what country was it to take place??

¤ They planned to include about thirty (30) people.

¤ It was planned to last for about two months.

¤ They planned to record, ship, and broadcast clips of the expedition.

¤ It would involve big game hunting.

¤ The safari was to begin immediately after completion of The Adventures of Don Juan.

¤ It never happened.

And a Happy Thanksgiving to you and the crew!

For those of us, still recovering from the usual condition from the aforementioned celebration AND, with a borrowing of a word, partly…

we have the following:

THANK Your Lucky Stars,

we are NOT in Tanzania

(mostly cloudy with a temperature range of 59-76… and prime weather for a BAD sunburn)

bon vivanting with a fellow named McAvoy, Frederick Joseph.

Another tough and tricky one to be sure… of which I am not entirely!

Errol and McEvoy Knievel would have visited Happy Valley, the old elephant stomping grounds and burial site of the Earl of Erroll. Due to delays while filming TAODJ, Suicide Freddie went on his own. I am still anxious to learn more about this trophyhunting topic, Gentleman Tusk.
