Morning guys. Long weekend here!
Tweeze and I left with some friends late thursday to head up to the canyon country. Stayed in a hotel that night so we could be on the trail at the ass crack of dawn on Friday. Friday AM we stopped to drop our bags off at the trail and I shut the van off, went to start it up again to go park and click, click, click F*CK! Tried jumping it and no go. We had just driven 90 miles into the middle of freaking nowhere so I was lost on what to do next. We told our friends to head on into the campsite, since the mules were carrying all the bags we would just meet them down on saturday. Called AAA to get a tow thinking even if it was just a battery we had no way to get back to town, and the nearest "town" wasn't going to have a battery anyways. So 120miles on a flatbed later we got to Kingman. Thanks god we have AAA premier so we only had to pay for the last 20miles. The shop ran all kinds of tests and said the battery had shorted is why it wouldn't jump. Put a new one in and we were good to go. Drove back to the hotel and got ready to attack it early Saturday. Thuy and I hiked 11miles in on Saturday, enjoyed the falls for a bit, and then back out on Sunday. I'm sore in places I didn't know existed, but it was beautiful hike and worth it!
