I came up behind Mark and John. Immediately started assessing the situation. They are bumped and bruised. JJ has some good knuckle lacerations. But everything seems to be OK.
Not bad. We sat there a minute to make sure everyone was calm and cool. I collect the parts. We say some thank yous. A couple passer-bys don’t notice what has happened. We don’t say anything.
The car is banged up. Bent spindle, bent axle, and bent tie rod. Pat smashes the tie rod strait. JJ fires the engine and lets the clutch out. It rolls decent enough to drive a little further up the trail. We think for a minute. Hydrate. No sense in going home. Realize its going to be the last ride for this machine. John says lets keep going. I laugh and agree. Mark nods that hes good too. Wheew!
Haha, and we did for a few more hours. Could have been a bad day, but we got lucky and managed to make the best of it.
JJ and Mark are currently soaking in hot springs. Sore. But are in good shape. Johns shoulder was on the inside. No contact.
Dario and I smash-passed Pat and JJ up a rock stair case (fyi Dario is a trash talking co-driver 😆 ) Then paid the price with a cracked sump. I had to abandon my machine and ride back seat w/Pat and Derrick.
I’m certain Mark thinks America is nuts at this point.
