The other highlight (in addition to the desert scenery) was Ben
restarting his LR in the middle of the large puddle in Afton Canyon.
The water was sill deep on Bens LR when he stalled. I offered a quick tow
to dry land but Ben refused. There ensued the funniest field repair I've
ever witnessed as Ben unloaded his tools (mainly WD40) from the rear door.
Opened his hood, and proceeded to fix his LR without getting off the his LR
into the puddle. At least until he had to fish his dropped rotor out of the
water. Much better than any scene in the Gods Must Be Crazy. Wish I had a
video camera. Just as in the movie the LR was started only after an
appropriate amount of cursing and some banged up knuckles.
Sorry Ben, but the scene was to memorable not to recount. On a positive note
you can take this as a sign you'll get the girl in the end.
