Zukinni Salad it was dubbed. I had fun back at camp listening to rumors of the new line that had been conquered. We let everyone else take off on their designated trails and may our way to Martinez. It sits high in the hills about 35 minutes from camp and is quite a scenic drive. The desert changes color from tan to reds, yellows, and green.
Trees actually start to show up.
Almost there, my power steering belt gave out. I decided I would hit the first few rocks and then make my way back to town for another belt. At Martinez a bit of an impromptu reunion occurred. Then up the trail comes Bill Shea in his stretched Willys. And finally, Sam Stein who was a Top Truck competitor too, though this time he left his Hummer at home and brought along a new Unimog instead.
