Rescued Yellow77

[Madgyver]

Well, The Big Run we attended yesterday up the north shore was Awesome! But in the afternoon turn into a Big Rescue of my family and yellow77. We didn't get home until 1:30am this morning with the yellow77 being flat towed for about 50 miles. I'll post details and pics later but right now I'm late for work........
Nothing bad but just couldn't restart in a bad spot on a trail being in deep into some obstacles with more obstacles that needed to get through ahead and the cold of night coming and being in a dead spot with no communications working.....

Aloha,

Sorry to hear about the rig, Mad. Glad you got home though. Looking foward to pics of the day.

Here is a couple of PICS.
These were taken by Taz right before it threw the rear driveshaft into the Carter fuel pump.

Wow, thats beautiful up there. I saw the other post, where you guys are on a "ghost trail". Hope the fresh paint on the doors held up. SO, did the front end come down on top of the hill before it died? I sure hope so. Give us some more details.

I just got it running again. What stalled me was a bad crimp on the wiring, when the fuel pump shorted it blew the connection not enough to blow a fuse. No power to something important and not having the Painless schematic with me left me stranded.

Mad,

Those are some awesome pics. Maybe it will make it in 2008 calendar. It was nice to visit with you yesterday and am glad you guys made it home safely. Happy Thanksgiving
