The drive with many challenges but excellent teamwork After a very good first lead last Friday, I was super excited to do my next one. I choose an area that I am very familiar with and I drove in that area a few times already so I was not concerned at all. Everyone came perfectly on time and after a short briefing and the radio checks, we headed into the dunes with @Nacho as my second lead, @Desert Dweller in center forward position and @Srikumar in the sweep. The first hour was amazing, everyone did great, the pace got kicked up a little bit and everyone enjoyed the slide sloping. The sand was very soft and there was a lot of wind but that didn't stop us at all !! I marked a very nice play area on my GPS and I really wanted to reach it because it's beautiful and I wanted everyone to have some fun playing around but I took a wrong turn and all hell broke loose. There was a big bowl with extremely soft sand at the bottom and the moment I drove into it, I knew I was in trouble. I quickly announced on the radio to @Desert Dweller to stop the convoy. Only 4 of us were in that bowl and I tried to get out but got myself stuck in a very ackward position. With a lot of shoveling, tugging and fixing a pop out of my rear tyre, we were able to make a move again. We even got the help of my hubby @Frederic which I was extremely happy about .... I want to thank everybody for their patience and their help with shoveling. I really saw some very good teamwork and I was very pleased to have such an amazing bunch of people with me that evening. A special thank you to @Srikumar @Desert Dweller @Pancho @Nacho @Jose Martin and @Sinol for the shoveling, tugging and especially staying very calm ! I hope I didn't scare you all off and hope to see you on one of my next leads .... Kuddos to everyone and see you soon !

@Veedooshee we close the RSVP convoys at 9am and then we try to put in people from waitlist to the drives. A heads up from you that you left the drive would have been useful ....
