  • Merlin gets a call to rescue a side by side that is broke and stuck out in "the narrows". This trail is not for the wide... but is more for the wise! This side by side was wedged in and even his buddies couldn't save him, hopefully Merlin can! They might have to take the go around and this trip could take all day long. Hopefully they can make it up and out the short cut, a treacherous hill climb!

    15 miles to the south and 13 miles to the north is where the two Wendy's are located to us. All of the other "fast food" joints are situated around each of them. The best cheeseburgers are a local convenience store three tenths of a mile from the house. Hand made and tasty. They have some rather large and plump crispy breaded chicken tenders as well. Food always plays a big part in going out off the pavement.

    Merlin. It was great to meet you and the misses at Rory’s shop at EJS. My pop has been gone (Rest In Peace) for many years. You remind me of him so much. Every evening after work he and all the other gents of the alley we lived on opened up their garages and while we kids rodes our bikes all the men met in any one of the garages. Usually if the issue of the day was automotive or mechanical or welding and so one, they were all in my dad’s garage getting things fixed. Thanks for bringing back those memories. I learned a lot in there!!!

    Dang Marilyn, that really steep -hill, intimidated me!! I didn’t think you would have any trouble with it per se. But I just wasn’t so sure about you told me that off-road toy behind you.
    And then, getting up the hill, all the way without, spinning and losing your traction. And then, getting in some kind of trouble, some kind of a jackpot that you don’t need.
    You know, as well as I do Marlin, there are good jackpots and there is bad jackpots.
    What really saved the day was when you supervised getting everybody in-tandem so everyone could pull him out.
    By the way, that guy that owns the side-by-side toy, that you rescued, I have seen him over in Sand Hollow and I have seen him in videos on Matt’s channel.
    I just don’t remember if Matt rescued him or not. But I’ve seen him talking with Matt Wayback in an area in, And around, Sand Hollow.

    I know that area quite well. That steep trail was created about four years ago. It was a God send because it allowed for a great loop. About ten years ago a Ford truck, or Bronco got wedged in that slot and was there for a few years before a big storm forced it through. It is now down by the Narrows. I have photos back home.
