Hey all! Hope everyone had a good Turkey Day weekend.

When I bought my buggy a couple of years ago, a friend told me that sooner or later, with the way we drive, I'd roll the buggy...

Friday afternoon I took a friend out for a "quick" run around camp which was in Wash 13. Wearing only lap belts and by ourselves, "Philly" and I headed to the small dunes less than a mile from camp.

Everything was going fine until I headed up a dune, turned left to meet the ridge parallel and gave the buggy a little (too much) gas. Coming down the dune, we were headed parallel toward another small 6-8 foot ridge, but going too quickly to avoid sliding sideways down the other side, we slammed, rolled and ended upside down.

It's kind of a surreal thing to be upside down. I was just sitting there going "what just happened...why's everthing upside down?"

We were fine so we crawled out, and boy was my addrenaline flowing. Looking at my buggy upside down I started to get embaressed so we quickly pushed the buggy back on all fours. Just then a quad pulled up and I gave him a thumbs up/we're OK.

It gets better...I busted my whip (NO...not the whip, hahahahaha) and the rear paddle off the bead. Nobody was around but thankfully, camp was only 0.81 miles away! Thank God for GPS.

So I left Philly with the buggy and started jogging back to camp only to have it start to pour down rain which is a good thing when your trying to jog in sand. Half way there, two guys on bikes pull up and gave me a lift back to camp. They thought I was "just some nut going for a jog" hahahahaha...I'd probably think the same thing.

At camp, we load up a spare wheel in the other rail and headed back to the scene of the crime. 200 yards from the spot, the other rail blows a front smoothy so guess what...I have to carry the steel rim with desert track the rest of the way.

You ever watch two people hold up a rail while the third tries to do his best NASCAR pit crew wheel changing impression? Funny stuff.

Thankfully nobody got hurt and the buggy was none for the worse.

OK kids...whats the moral of the story?

1. Dont ride alone.
2. Always wear your 5 point belts.
3. GPS is the best.

"GPS is the best"

You couldn't follow your tracks back to camp?
Glad your no worse for wear.
