On Friday, our group visited Patiko, Baker’s Fort. It was a bumpy, 1.5 hour drive out
there but so worth the views we got!
Unfortunatly, a few of us got a little sick from the ride, but so is
life.
Fort Patiko is about 32 K north of Gulu. The first road we tried actually ended
up not working out because the rains had flooded it too much that there was a
truck stuck in the mud. The 137-year-old
fort was built in 1872 by Sir Samuel Baker, a British explorer and anti-slave
trade campaigner. It’s a scenic
place on top of a hill in Ajulu Parish that looks out across the plains toward
South Sudan.
