Gov't Trail Trailhead: Danny, Allison, and Shelby - getting ready to head out.
We had a rough time getting to the trailhead the previous night. There had been a snowstorm on Cedar Mesa and after it melted, the road was a gooey mess. I gunned my Corolla but only made it about a hundred yards from the paved road before getting stuck. The guys were able to push it back to the main road. Our other vehicle was an old Cadillac sedan with 2WD but we had the advantage of a crazy driver (Shelby). So we packed what gear we could into it and Shelby, Roger, Dan, Allison took off. Eric and I wated to see if they would make it back for the second triop. About 45 minutes later the Caddy roared back. After packing the rest of the gear in, we shuttled the Corolla back to the Kane Gulch Ranger Station. What followed next was the wildest ride of my life. What we lacked in traction we had to make up for with speed.
