If You Keep Losing Sleep

Back into the bush Thursday.

I was just finishing my last blog entry when the boys came knocking on my door. They were driving back in to get the two stuck trucks. They needed a third driver to drive a truck home. We stopped by and picked up cherish as well. If I had known that she would be going, I would have stayed home. I was under the assumption that I was needed as a driver.

But I went, and I really didn't want to. I was not feeling so hot. I had slept poorly, and I'd barely had a chance to eat in 24 hours.

I don't really care to detail the entire trip back into the bush. Main points:

• We went in with truck #1, carrying a quad, to free truck #2, and change the spare on jeep #1.
• We successfully freed truck #2.
  
• The spare tire didn't fit, so the jeep stayed in the bush.
• We decided to take the quick way out with truck #1 and #2, rather than the easy way that we came in through.
• Truck #1 got stuck, and damaged severely, trying to get through the 'quick way'.

So we went in with one truck, and came out with another. Two vehicles are still stuck in the there. Brilliant. We were out in the bush pretty last Thursday night, so yesterday (Friday) I slept most of the day. I was so bagged from those two days.

When I have closure on this nightmare, I'll post the denouement. What a carry on.

I spent some time on google earth today trying to figure where we were at. I found out how deep we had gotten, and it was pretty astonishing from the aerial view. When we drove back in yesterday we measured the distance.

We covered 2 km's in JC's Jeep from where Jeff's truck got stuck, and where JC's jeep eventually got stuck.

We covered close to 17km's on foot. This took us down ~13km's of logging road, and the rest was dense brush.

We were picked up 2.8km's from the entrance/the wastelands. We had estimated 3km's.

That's all for now. Have a good weekend.

Thanks for reading.
