[Az-Geocaching] Do you know him?

[Brian Casteel]

I still remember that little Mohave Rattler we found, and the second one
that almost found us when we jogged by those bushes.  It just seemed too
coincidental that as I was kneeling there (about 8' away mind you) and said,
"I want to hear it rattle, but I don't want to do anything to piss it off,"
and as if on cue, it started.  That's when we left.

HAHAHA!!! Yep, Brian's Jeep pulled out a full size 1/2 ton GMC truck! For 
those that didnt hear about Mission:RRTW.... I busted a lower control arm 
U-bolt. It twisted and eventually snapped. I was stuck on an upslope and 
rocky road. I couldnt get a jack under it where I felt the truck was stable 
to work under and not worry about it sliding backwards or to the side any 
while I was under there working on it. So, I let the truck roll back (it 
didnt roll very well with the front left tire cocked a bit plus all the 
rocks) a bit until the back tires were in a small sandy wash at the bottom 
of the hill. Anyways, after fixing it... I was ready to roll again, except 
my 2wd truck was not going anywhere since it was stuck in the wash. I have a

posi- traction rear in there too! So, we hooked a tow rope up to Brians Jeep

and we were able to tow it back a bit so I could turn it around and drive it

out! :) Other than that little mishap, it was a fun night as we did some 
late night wilderness caching in the dark of night around the area (near 
Black Canyon City).
