Return to the Scene
The real story was the year before.
I was driving. Sergei was navigating using the Wadi Asimah trip description in “Off-Road in the Emirates, Vol 2" by Dariush Zandi.
“…Follow the track that disappears into the water and comes out again…”
Opps, too late. There was more water that day. And the rocks that are piled against the small dam were not there…yet.
Picture the previous year’s jeep, a green one. front wheels hanging in the air above those little rock ramps that are not there yet. Picture the frame cross member resting squarely on that little concrete dam, rear wheels dug in to the axel in loose gravel at the bottom of the pool. Imagine it is 42 deg C (108F).
Glad there was water in that pool.
