So saturday some friends and i decided to go shooting... well i asked Kyle (Gentry's brother) if there was any place to 4 wheel while out, he told me there was so i got super excited. We were near Queen Valley.. A. I have never heard of this place and B. I didn't have a good feeling about it when we passed the NO TRESPASSING sign, but i continued to follow anyways... we reached the point of no return... Literally... First of all they had us driving in a dang creek and then wanted to turn around when it was a one lane area... So me thinking Im a 4x4-ing champ backed up on this slope so the other car could get past so i could just follow him out... well the unexpected happened... and while going down i got stuck on a dang tree... HOW EMBARRASSING! (trust me i really know what im doing... it was just one of those fluke accidents!! )
(ps this isn't me, this is a girl named Megan, just didn't want you to think i went blonde or anything)
If that isn't bad enough I put it in 4x4 drive...... and....... dum dum dum..... the light doesn't come on... (YET another concern i had...i even thought to myself earlier that day to check the straw) ya straw... 2 4x4-ing trips ago my dad fixed my 4x4 drive with a Q.T. straw.. haha creative.. i like to say white trash.. but heck it worked. SO then i decided to test the straw and see how long it would last... well ladies... and maybe gentleman it lasted a whole whopping 2 trips the 3rd it failed me! (3rd being this trip im talking about). See if i were to have checked it this nonsense probably would've never happened... or maybe it would've but my truck would've taken it like a champ in 4x4 drive! but nooooooooooo the straw had to crack and mess the day up. The other car ended up getting me out but due to the lack of space to turn around it got stuck once again... *at this point i started bawling and Bret or Kyle i can't remember proceeded to tell me its ok we'll atleast get it out in 2 pieces..* ps guys thanks for the words of comfort!
At that point i had enough and walked off with my cheap chocolate verizon phone in hand searching for service so i could call my dad... *yup ran to my dad for help* haha well i couldn't get enought service so i texted him that both cars were stuck and where i was... well sorta the area i was in.. i hadn't paid enough attention to exactly where we were, and prayed he'd get the text... well it said sent and then i heard someone calling my name... it was Gentry and he said the sheriff saw them and told them he was coming around and giving us all trespassing tickets... uhhhhh so at that point i started freaking out... HELLO i can't afford another ticket this year... so i went back to my car and didn't get a text back until i said hey its getting late and i don't want to be stuck here all night im going to get ahold of my dad and he'll get me out... Gentry and i headed back up the mountain and to our surprise there was the sheriff.... with "The Beast" (a towing company) right behind him.... now i was getting excited but not excited for ticket or charge for towing my car out....
Well luckily we had 2 single girls to flirt it up with the ever so popular sheriff... im not aloud to say his name... but note he is a celebrity and has been on tv for a gun shot wound. haha well he ended up being a nice guy and the only thing we had to pay for was the towing... which was $80 a car.... Boy im so happy im out of that situation and have learned from it!
Well my car has some damage, I think when the towing guy was pulling my car out my wheels were turned so it bent something that messed up the steering.. also my battery flew into my power steering fluid and busted it and also melted part of my battery.... haha oh well... it wouldn't be a 4x4-ing trip with out some damage.
Well my dad ended up coming but never really found us due to my lack of communication, but once i got out i called him and waited for him to drive my car home so he could see if anything else was wrong... I drove his car home and while on the free way i was driving behind him and im tires had so much sand in them that a rock flung up and cracked his wind shield... haha ooops!! and yesterday i drove his 4 runner to church and i turned it off and the radio decided it wasn't going to go off.... lets just say it wasn't my weekend for cars..
