Here's what I'll do... No matter where we go, I'll keep a camp chair and a few cigars in the trunk. That way, should it blow up, we will have something to do while we wait for the tow truck.

 

honestly my one fear is the inability to seek help because if we don't see you or you don't see us - that's pretty much it. Since the phones are useless and nobody uses the radios AND EVEN IF WE DID you/we would be out of range by the time one would think to try it.

 

* is and has been

 

also I always have at least one ready to go at all times out there (cigar)

 

do you carry a gun? no

do we have flares or anything? no

I do have this lighter and a cigar though so I'm going to sit over here and have at it

 

 

I looked at George's route and I think that southern loop is a littler closer to civilization. If not, at least out of the high ridges. If my memory serves me, communication down there isn't as bad as it is in the immediate "Dragon" area.

But... Yes... You are absolutely correct. That is my single biggest fear about taking a geriatric car to the middle of nowhere.

 

I'll get my first drive of the season in around 5 o'clock tonight. What are the forecast temps? Upper 40's.

Unamused Jeffy is unamused.

 

 

I'm going to an AVO event tomorrow night so more smokes to add to the pile
