What a fun drive it was yesterday. Thanks @joe.zeinoun for leading the convoy, letting me second lead 😀 and @Asim for sweeping.
Those small technical dunes kept us on our toes. It was quiet an experience for me to navigate my big rig on those short and soft dunes :drive:
We had couple of recoveries except for Joe and Asim who managed to self recover themselves. I also had few self recoveries but I got myself stuck twice because of the length of my car compared to those small dunes. Thanks @Asim for being the anchor and letting me pull myself out using the winch. Those small nasty Dunes didn’t spare anyone =))
After getting out of those tricky dunes area we came across some medium dunes towards the end where we had some fun.
Lucky for us that we didn’t had any pop-outs. Everyone drove quite well :drive: and we made to quodra lakes by 12am.
Looking forward for the next midweek madness 😀
Peace!
