5 MILES?!?!?!

I've been so far into the woods I really NEEDED my gps to get back out. Some of Buck8Point's caches have you going 15 miles down gravel roads with no end in sight. icon_wink.gif And surly you know someone with a towchain...and if not, they're cheaper than a towtruck and a good investment.

So go ahead and get muddy..that's why God made carwashes.

I met my husband on a 22 mile gravel road at 2am....both of us lost in Poplarville, MS heading for Gulf Wars (Big SCA event down here)..

 

He was from Florida, me from Louisiana...I'd been driving for 8 hours for what should have been a 2 hour trip...I was almost out of gas and the only money I had left was to pay my entrance fee.

 

In my defence, I rarely get lost (He's the directionally challenged of the two of us)..turned out, I was given the wrong exit to get off the highway at and I *WAS* looking at a "farm across from a golfcourse"...was just the wrong farm and golf course....

Go for it.

What do you think will happen after the five miles of dirt road. You should always be prepared for anything that may come up. Travel with a buddy ie

(S&W), leave word on where you are going and when

you plan on returning. Be a PIONEER self sufficiant type or be a sheeple (those who rely on others for everything).

GEOCACHING --- It isn't about the treasur --- It is about the find and the getting there!!!

One of my first dates with my wife ended with the question "Hey, where does that road go?"

The answer turned out to be "Nowhere, but into this ditch" and giving AAA directions to nowhere was not easy.

My new car is AWD with a come-along and towstrap stowed in back. Bring it on! icon_biggrin.gif

Most of the students that were killed in my class (maybe 5 give or take) have been from accidents that happen on gravel roads. My brother who is a cop said that kid age 16 are about the worse to be in accidents (age 14 is the age at which one can drive in SD).

The probability of someone watching you is directly proportional to the stupidity of your actions.
