Saturday got a call about 2 stranded hikers on the Bell Trail. I told the call out persont to call me back if she didn't get enough hikers, needless to say I got called back. If they had just had flash lights we wouldn't have been needed.
2 Rubicon jeeps and my CTD drove 2 miles down a closed road through a forest service gate, the truck made it just fine with hardly any damage....lol. I did get way off camber on one section trying to stay in the leading jeeps tracks, that was kind of scary. I had to back down and take a different track.
It was a night from hell....of that 11 miles we had 1,500 foot elevation gain, 1000 feet of that in less than one mile! One member of our team slipped and bashed the side of his face pretty good on a stream crossing. The rain gauge in my back yard had 1 1/4 inch of water in it when I got home after 12 hours of hiking.
