Dave and Rafael got some air
early on but I was content to keep four tires on the ground, for the most
part. I am pretty certain my broken radius arm last year was a result of
getting some air. Around dusk, Don showed up with McFly in the passenger
seat, towing Bill's trailer full of wood. They managed to get the thing
about half full, meaning we would have plenty of wood for a nice and large
fire.
Bert and Anthony both arrived
after dark and began unpacking. It was around 9 pm when Bill finally
showed up. We were waiting on him before going out for some night wheeling
and set off while he setup camp.
All of us headed out in a
stream of off-road lights. There wasn't too much action at tabletop or
truck hill so we played around and didn't really do anything too rough. I
led most of the guys out through the sand highway and we found ourselves
in the middle of the usual Friday night stuck-fest. Motor homes, cars,
minivans, two-wheel drive trucks..... All of them stuck in the soft sand
just beyond the beach. I helped a family in a Honda Civic out before
returning to camp.
On Saturday morning, people
ventured out into the dunes in two's and three's to see what was going on.
Dave got stuck in some soft, virgin sand and Rafael tried to come to the
rescue, but buried himself in the process. I imagine they wished they had
a Pull-Pal about now. JB tried to pull out Dave from the front without any
luck. Finally, Dave got free and yanked Rafael out from the rear in 2WD
since his front axle shaft had broken.

Most everyone met up at a sweeping sand dune
and took turns at it. The whoops at the bottom of the hill made it
sort of tough to get a lot of speed at the bottom of the hill, but
keeping on the gas all the way up was key. Most of us headed out to
Competition Hill while Dave took his Bronco back to camp. |
