So we decided to head out to Ocotillo Wells (down by San Diego county) to do some offroading and camping. We left thursday, and the plan was to come home today but the heat made me way sick so we came home yesterday instead... we didn't bring any dirt toys... just the sploder.
yesterday morning, my boy was driving around and i was apparently taking video while we were flying down the main trail (45-50 mph)...
then he slowed down too much in some soft sand and we got stuck...
we tried digging the tires out and that didn't work, so we tried little wood blocks...
all the while the passenger door was open and we were flinging sand EVERYWHERE... finally we noticed. lol.
then we tried wood planks...
that didn't work cuz they just broke... finally, the 2 on dirtbikes went back to get the truck that was at camp so they could pull us out... while we were waiting, kris got bored and threw it in first gear and rolled forward a little, pushed in the clutch and let it roll back, and then used that momentum to go forward a little farther... etc. until we got out. the guy in the truck was on his way to get us and when he saw us come up and over the hill he said FUUUUUUUUU!!! hahaha. this was zoe's 2nd trip offroading and 2nd time being stuck. the first one was worse but we didn't have a camera that time.
yup. this is how i spent my friday morning in 100 degree weather with NO breeze.
