I realize this guy was new to us, but he was warned, twice, about making sure his equipment was up to snuff. It wasn't. Frankly, it wasn't even close. Many of us have spent a lot of our money and/or time making sure our equipment is ready. You must be cognitive of the group and respect your wheeling partners enough to prepare.

I know he didn't do it on purpose. He seems like a nice person. People have bad days and bad things happen out there (ask me how I know). He did say he felt awful about the whole thing.

None of that changes the fact that instead of spending time with two people that flew a couple thousand miles to see Blaine, he spent time fixing someone else's Jeep, and did so without complaint or snivel.

There were conversations and meetings, that had been planned, that were not completed because of this.

I understand that. I wasn't there and it stinks things didn't go as planned. I know what it takes to ride out there and would always take what is told to heart. I probably will never get out there with my rig ever myself because I know just what it takes but at least I keep an open ear to it all.

Hopefully my above scarsam post isn't taken the wrong way, I didn't realize just how much it messed everything that was planned up.

BTW, glad you made it out ok Jeff.
