so teh GF and I went routing yesterday
went to Asa Wright Nature Centre and decided to take the scenic route back - to Blanchieusse, then to Maracas and then POS
was really nice, very sceneic and beautiful
we went with her car
teh CVT handled the winding, high altitude roads very well . . . .
except for the part when we got stuck in sand on the main road
the car was up to 1 inch of her front flair in sand:
the left side front wheel was the only one spinning when the accelerator was depressed - the right wheel had better traction, but wasn't even spinning
that mound of sand on the right-middle of the pic is where the bottom of the front bumper was resting,
teh hole that the front left wheel made is evident in the pic
2 rastas in a Suzuki Jimny and some nice guys in a L300 had to haul us out
and this was at 5:50PM - dusk dark
if those Ras hadn't come along - we would have spent the night there
God is Good - say your prayers every morning
and keep some nylon rope in your car - gonna buy some of this
yuh cud just imagine the damage control I have to do now, since I was driving
