Saturday morning trip to Spiral mountain

A proposed trip from "Back side Car Museum" to Al Khatim with Mood, Nessie, JC, Kiwi & Bulldozer was brought prematurely to a close when the sand became like fluid near the spiral mountain. We decided to retrace our path rather than becoming completely bogged down in the soft hot sand returning to our original deflation point. So I had time to examine both my "snatch strap & snatch rope on this trip.

Thanks to Mood in the family shopping car for being my 2nd lead and for Kiwi for doing the sweeping. A special thanks to Bulldozer for just being there to keep an eye on things.

Avan congratulation for the 1st trip for sure will not be the last hehehehe, the pleasure is mine to be with bunch of enthusuastic off-roader welling to test their skulls & their cars in the very HOT sun unlike yesterday it was clear sky which speed heating the sand & make it softer which result in some recoveries (Snatch rope/ strap) & self recoveries, Nessie even FakeJeep can do it, Marty small scratches on the Bumpers what make it Faked Jeep, JC well done for the recoveries, Kiwi u r learning fast keep it up man, MooD u did well even in the Prado experiencing stucks with trucks is allowed, Avan good cool leadership nice track picked for everybody's capabilities

Thanks guys C U soon on the sand soft hard who cares as long its sand
