A hole in the Desert....
Yeah I went in nose first.... Sorry not pic of that was to busy trying to figure a way out. I happy to report that my two friends and co-workers were out of the car and busting there ass off to get me out of this mess. I was a single vehicle on this trip but it can be difficult to find people to hit the trails when I can. Well this is a reason why you should not travel alone and without anyone knowing where you are going or how you are getting there. I let family know where I was going and the trail I was taking. We had a radio repeater lined up and were in constant contact, even after the "OH SHIT" moment. My buddies and I where able to spend the next 60/90 minutes getting my ass out. We gather rock after rock to put under the tires for traction and it work. Luckily it was only about 90 degrees with a nice breeze at the time. This was on the Power line road between Barstow and the 127 out of Baker.
So lessons to learn from this. Always let people know where and how you are going to get there; Don't go alone; have plenty of supplies; have the proper gear; and pack as much luck as you can carry.
If we couldn't get it out one of us would have to hike all the way to guys from Fort Irwin in the distance to help us out. hehe. I'm thankful I have great friends and co workers and for that hand of God to not letting anything get damaged as it could have been severe.
