Four Wheels off the Ground

All of us were supposed to be going over this bump and getting a photo of four wheels off the ground.  Not me, I was stuck. That was the second incident. One wheel was up in the air about 4 feet and I was leaning on Hank but I had no choice.

Two husky guys had to push us to get us unstuck. I followed a cloud of dust and thought I was following the pack but I made a wrong turn and got lost. The path began to narrow and I knew I was going where I shouldn't have gone but there was no where to turn around. That was the first clue that something was wrong, I was lost. 


                      Dennis, Sandy, me and Hank

I made several turns and coming around the next corner were 10 four-wheelers following the leader coming right at me or rather I was coming right at them. I hit the brakes but it was too late - we had a head on collision.  It took another 15 minutes to get me moved over into the weeds so all the four wheelers could pass me and each gave us a love tap on the rear wheel.

Alberto said "follow me" so he brought us back to the others and we had a pit stop was in a river bed. Cold bottled water was there in a cooler and picture time.


Me and Alberto

Amazing tree roots had grow all over a large piece of granite rock.  It was fascinating.

Alberto had me change to a different dune buggy.  I could actually reach the gas peddle and the steering wheel moved easier.

Are you sure you didn't do this on purpose just so that you could cuddle up to Hank? Sounds like you had so much fun.
