Yup!!! It was me!!!!
Sheared the lower ball joint bolts off the passenger side suspension. Called
@Rat_Bastard at like 9pm and he left the restaurant he was at and headed out to get me (Im sure his girl hates me...). My location was tricky because I'm more of an explorer and I like to wonder... So I do what I do and wondered a few miles off the main trail down a narrow wash and this is the first break happened. Brian ended up passing my location and wasn't able to back track down the trail (it was raining and SLICK) so he thought driving the rest of the gap (4+ hours) was going to be his only way out. His plan was to finish the gap and come around to my side of the trail again. In the process of running the trail he found a ledge...
So at this point I slept in my truck. Brian ended up getting a hold of
@chucklefunkk early the next morning and he drove out to help Brian with his recovery. The Air force of all people shows up at Brian's location and recovers his truck and get him back on the road. Brian and Chuck then drive all the way around to the other end of the Gap to pick me up.
Yes, Brian after rolling his truck still completed the mission! YOUR MY BOY BLUE!!! AND who knows what Chuck was thinking at this point after hearing all the carnage on my truck and Brians. Chuck's like "Hell yeah I'll go". Fucking lunatic friends I have and I love them!!! I had to leave my truck on the trail until I could get parts. Brian and Chuck got me and my friend Dennis (who was with me for all of this) home and we were able to pickup all the parts I needed to fix my truck.
This is where
@Brindybot came in and gave me a ride back out to my truck. Jonny is a damn Ninja, Seriously! Anyone who knows Jonny can attest. This guy is seriously a Ninja on the trail and we got to my truck without a problem and had fun doing it!! We got the passenger side suspension back together and still had a few hours left in the day so we took our time on the way out and hit every obstacle and feature on the Oracle side of the Gap.
Thank you to all of my friends for giving 2 shits and making sure my dumbass isn't still out on the trail. I am very fortunate to have got to know all of you and I cant wait to get out and 3-wheel the trails with you all Soon!!
When is the next trail run???
