Day 3 (continued):
Right after the vado, come down on a decent size rock that ripped the LCA ball joint out, down went the passenger side. Rest of the group moved forward while the chase truck went back to where we had lunch to communicate to the trailer to come out to get me. Knowing the trailer already had another truck that broke down earlier that morning, I knew that it would be very late if not the next day. I had some sleeping bags to spend the night out there but wasn’t going to give up. We put the ball back in the cup and drove out of the desert at a slow pace for the next 35 miles to pavement and finally got to the hotel where everyone else was by midnight. They had margaritas waiting for us, we needed them.
