Cup Weekend – Wash Out
Well another Cup weekend has been and gone. This trip was meant to take us into the snowy mountains, but a few things stopped us. First thing that went wrong was Dan’s rig, it started spitting oil out of one of the front axel seals. Decision was made there and then that we will all stick together and made camp at the first stop which was in the alpine national park by a river. Tents were set up and a fire was started followed by an endless supply of alcohol which was mainly made of beer and bundy ( Janine had gin 🙂 ).
All was well until the next morning when it stated raining early and literally didn’t stop till about 24 hours later. By this time Dan was yelling to everyone to get up and pack up. Still a little sleepy I opened the tent and saw my food box float past!
Pretty much everyone was jumping out of there tents and grabbing there gear and throwing it in their rigs wet and unsorted. The main aim was to get the hell out of there while the tracks are still above water. We all managed to get out (drenched) and decided it was time to cut our losses and head home. End of the day we all got home safely and Dan’s car is repaired.
