We found this thing on the way back down from climbing Blanca and Ellingwood. These guys were f***ed up baddd. This thing had no business being on the Lake Como Road AT ALL. Apparently they lost their right rear tire up at Lake Como...Thats the LEAST of their issues. On the way down we smelled lots of oil and saw a trail of parts on the trail...which we later found out came from this truck. They had also tore something in there exhaust manifold and they had fracture their oil pan- resulting in oil leaking EVERYWHERE! So what they did to fix their oil issue was to strap an oil bottle to their already cracked windshield with bungee cords in order to run a little rubber house into the engine to keep "some oil" running through the engine...The truck was a mess! They had also had no extra food or water...so we gave them a bunch of food...They were not getting off the mountain that night
