Fun with elephant road block in Botswana

Getting close to Chobe National Park, after driving many hours through deep sand:

Some elephants had different plans that morning though:

Pulling back about half a mile, we found a way around. At the gate, the friendly guard already suspected that elephants had blocked the road, as we were the first ones checking into the park that morning.

Their car however was not around, so I offered my assistance. 

Pictures below:

The guard promptly dismantled the entire gate, so we could use the chain...

Must admit I felt extremely good doing this...

And proud of the result...
