Thanks for a wonderful drive, guys! 

It was challenging for me at times, but it was full of learning too! 

We had a great mix of criss-crosses, a few stucks, shoveling, tugging and even a pop-out! @Kailas managed the drive very well, fantastic job! 

The whole convoy managed very well too! I had a feeling that I was the slowest driver at night, the rest drove like they had night-vision goggles! I was struggling because I did not have enough light to the sides of the driving direction.

Thanks!

@Kailas for the fun filled drive...taking away fears of criss crossing and ridging...

And yes it was a pop out, timely identified,  thanks all great guys for helping me out.

After reaching tarmac , I experienced wobbling, couldn't think anything and fortunately had @Chaitanya Dnumber. He pretty well told me pretty well before I could say about pop out. Drove slowly to home. But after 20 km. That wobbling just vanished and again I was cruising 90to100km. Closer inspection nothing wrong with tie rod, or the link,or the ...but the bracket for my steering stabilizer is worn off. Needs replacement  hopefully will get before weekend to join you guys. Thanks Chaitanya for instant help on phone, helped to stay cool. 

Also thanks @Lawrence_Chehimi for excellent sweeping. Have a great day.

@Pacific after every pop outs it is recommended to take the car to a tyre shop, remove the tyre that had pop out and ask them to remove the sand inside. This can also lead to wobbling.
