The Rigs
Moab again... I know we love this place. However this trip was a little rough. The first day we went out and we did a fairly easy trail Steel Bender. It had its difficult spots. Kevin and I went up and over an obstacle and then Kevin decided that he wanted to go up it again but on a harder line. Fine by me, didn't seem so bad the first time. Now as many of you know I usually get out and take pictures of these fine obstacles. Well the first time around wasn't bad so I didn't bother to get out. WELL..... we ended up on our side. We bounced into a hole and so we tipped onto the driver side. Luckily Kev has a roll cage and is what stopped up from going all the way over. So I just dangled from my 5 point harness seat belt and waited for Kevin to get me out. Kindof crazy and a little shook up. Here is the end result
The damage not to bad.... I think Kevs pride was hurt more :(
The next day we decided to do one of the hardest trails down in Moab.. Prichett. Kevin's brother Tyler and April were with us and they were leading on the trail. We were about an half an hour into the trail when we came to one of the ugly ugly obstacles.
Keep in mind this hill is very very steep. The pictures do not do this justice. He started to up on a certain line but because there was so much sand on the rocks his back side started slipping and he slide along side the rock and then bounced into a hole.....
You get an idea what is going to happen......
He rolled 3 times!!! And walked away with just a bump on his head. It was very scary to watch it happen and to try to get him back out off the trail, not knowing if the truck was going to run or not.
Kevin and Tyler worked on it for some time and April and I cleaned everything up. Luckily they were able to get the truck running and he was able to drive off the trail. Look at how bent the cab is... Still can't believe that the engine was ok and so was Tyler.
All and all it was fun to get away for the weekend. And to learn what is so important in life. So grateful for all that I have and who I am with. He truly is an amazing man!
