Crap, that was a long freakin' day........

Everything went smooth all the way the through the golden crack. We got all the 2s and 3s thru with no drama at all.

Then most of the carnage started.

The complete carngage list:
-3 busted tie rods - on ONE vehicle!
-1 busted Ankle
-1 big quarter panel gash
-1 overheated vehicle
-2 totally busted H3s
-1 snapped air sensor

At one point we had Adam repairing a tie rod on the front of an H2 while we were winching H3s up a nastly obstacle from the back of it. As Adam was laying under the vehicle (while it was running to fuel the winch) he was sitting in 130 degree heat while the H2 was sliding backwards from trying to pull Neo's H3 up a ledge. It was total teamwork and chaos at the same time.

Talk about an amazing day.... Multiple recovery/winching/towing maneuvers, trails repairs, strapping newbs and vets, and doing that last 4 hours in the dark. Un-freakin-beleivable and unforgettable.

Bottom line. We got everyone home and all will be well. The unfortunate thing is we don't have many (if any) pictures since we were all working our butts off for the last 7 hours.
