along the Shoreline road, we ar
rived at the kibbutZ and oasis OF
Ein-Gedi. The Sabras (native Is
raelis) who populate this isolated
settlement on the Jordan border,
grow tomatoes, grapes, and date
palms.
NORTH OF THE hbbutz is the
oasis. Cool, clear water cascaded
down from the messy cliffs and
gathered in crystal clear pools.
Wherever the water flowed, lush,
pungent vegetation grew alongside.
On the road back to Sodom we
stopped at a hot sulphur spring.
Some of the Shacham group wad
ed in. What could be better for
hot, tired feet?
During the morning of the third
day, we were taken through a cave
in the salt mountain at the Sodom
hostel. Electric lamps lit the way
to huge room followed out of the
salt by water erosion.
SOUTH TO ELATH we jounced
over a winding dirt road.
The present-day copper mines at
Timna were known to be exploited
in the days of King Solomon. From
hill we looked out across the
plant. Our guides explained that
if they continue mining at the pres
ent rate, the ore will last Is years.
Near the mines were the huge,
red sandstone Pillars of Solomon,
a natural phenomenon. In the late
afternoon sun the normally red
rocks were brilliant in intensity.
could just as well be standing in
Arizona's Monument Valley. I
think the Navajo Indians would be
very comfortable in this part of
Israel.
AFTER ABOUT 100 miles of
dusty, dun-colored desert. it was
refreshing to behold the water of
the Red Sea. We stood on the
shore of Elath, IsraePs southern
harbor and gateway to Asia and
Africa.
Across the clear waters of the
Gulf of Elath was the Jordanian
fishing village of Aqaba, nestled at
the foot of high peaks on a sloping
coastal plain. The barracks of the
former British army post were
plainly seen. No ships were in the
harbor. It appeared peaceful and
friendly. In the evening Aqaba's S
lights twinkled across the water.
Before its conquest by the Is
raeli army years ago, Elath was
a desert police station called Um
Rashash. The three sod buildings
of this outpost still stand near the
beach. The harbor contains an oil
pipeline to the Mediterranean and
several naval vessels.

jacket.
The American Shacham group,
volunteering to work a year on a
border kibbutz, was on its four-day
tour of the Negev.
FROM BEERSHEBA we travelled
south to Sodom. Each group car
ried it's own food. Clothes were In
knapsacks and blanket rolls.
AS we travelled, I noticed how
strikingly similar Southern Israel
is to Arizona. The same plateaus,
rock strewn soil, the greyish-
brown scrub vegetation, and a
cobalt-blue sky devoid of clouds.
All that lacked here were the giant
cactus of the Southwest. Occasion
al herds of camel grazed near the
road.
The shores of the Dead Sea are
the lowest points on earth. 1926
feet below sea level. At the south
east corner of the sea is Sodom.
For two nights we slept at the
Youth Hostel.
SODOM WAS comprised of the
hostel and a service station. South
of this was a phosphate factory.
Our first meal was cooked at the
foot of a huge mountain of pure
table salt.
Early the second day we travelled
north on a road that followed the
shore line. Across the waters was
Jordan. The enemy" territory
consisted of high rugged hills-no
people, no armaments.
We climbed the meandering trail
up the steep cliff of Metsadah
Peak. The summit offered a splen-
did view of the Dead Sea and sur
rounding landscape.
METSADAH is known as the last
fortress of the Jewish zealots
against the Romans. Once King
Herod built magnificent castle
on the plateau. In 73 C.E., the
peak fell to the Romans after
seige lasting about six months.
Deep ravines surround the peak.
Guides pointed out the remains OF
Roman camps and roads. Also Wis
ible were the towers of the old
castle.

housing units.
We stayed at the youth hostel
overlooking the harbor. I stood on
the shore and looked out towards
Saudi Arabia. Asia, and East
Africa.
We visited a display of marine
life at small museum. Our Stav
in Elath was short since we had
over 200 miles of rugged driving
to arrive at Beersheba that eve
ming. We travelled north on a new
ly paved road. Throughout the
trip the weather was warm.
IN DESOLATE Southern Israel
travel is most difficult. conven-
fences are few. Like Arizona it
lacks sufficient water. Settlements
are sparse and far apart. Life on
these are difficult.
The Negev is IsraePs greatest
challenge. Man must reclaim and
create an environment appealing
enough to attract incoming imni-
grants. If once this was the "cradle
of civilization, perhaps it can
once again support a human popu-
lation.
