Day-30

August 5, 2006

Lost...

Today was a testing day to say the least. The sage was so thick that the trail disappeared completely. It seemed like we were just blindly cutting through sage brush most of the day. Michael was having a horrible time getting through it since his motorcycle does not have as much ground clearance as our dirt bikes. We decided to try to abandon the trail and cut through the fields towards a few houses in the distance. Unfortunately being that this was ranging country barbwire fences kept blocking us from making progress towards the houses and what we hoped was a road. We would run into a fence search for a gate get through only to find a new fence in our way.

It was getting very dark very quickly so we decided to abandon the bikes next to two fences we couldn't get through and hike to the nearest collection of buildings. We made our way to an empty double-wide trailer surrounded by barns.
It was night time and we were starving with a dead cell phone. It’s time to see if we can get help from some perfect strangers…
