Thank you Kailas it was a very challenging and exciting drive this morning.

The sand and the dunes in this area were just beautiful.

Fast pace, nice climbing and serious criss-crossing and ridge riding. 

I did get a few refusals and stucks but hey... That's how we learn right ?  thank you everyone for the support and patience.

Thank you @Kailas for wonderful drive. It was great feeling as I rejoined te convoy after 2months. Getting the grip back, good thing happened that car need shovel and even a tug, which had never happened so far. Every driver should get in such situations and understand the sand and conditions better to be more confident and contained. 

 

Thanks to @Nivin and @Russ for excellent support. 

A big thank you to @JeromeFJ for extending your helping hand by extending your pressure tubing of compressor, as mine betrayed at the end. Nice to meet you Jerome.

Thanks @Kailas for the excellent drive today…it was a crisis crossing feast!!!

lost control on couple of crossings with some refusals too. Had my share of learning experiences.

 

there was some confusion regarding the radio frequencies as many of us were on the old channel 5 - 462.887 while some were on the new one 446.106.
