After a drenching rainstorm Fay and a Pygmy guide warm themselves by the fire. Before they reach Gabon, still more than 600 miles (965 kilometers) away, the team will face dense underbrush, difficult river crossings, “deep, goopy mud,” stick-hurling monkeys,
malaria, biting tsetse flies, and foot worms.
