Misty morning
Day 81
Do the Wave!! Wave rock that is. We of course did the surfer pose. Lol. It was stunning. I couldn’t believe it. I guess I should go back a bit though. We did take Sean out to the mine to have a peak and threw some rocks down to the water. Cause… well.. that’s fun. The trail end is about 40km away… maybe a bit more, I sometimes lose track. This section of track got ugly, with some deep mud and some steep angles to put the truck on with the driver front tire coming off the ground almost a foot due to a slight swing of the tail end as the it slide off the embankment and fell into the mud. But we survived. And made our way into Hyden for a refuel and to make some sandwiches as I fixed the truck, we had a slight electrical issue with the 12v adapter as it shorted out while pumping up tires when we hit the pavement. Didn’t think it was to bad.. but it has melted some carpet and all the solder around it. Easy fix though. We have a 12v plug in again. We pushed hard
