Hey, Bruno.
No wonder it took you a while to put this together -- you didn't want to re-live the adventure!
Nice job on the TR, BTW. Great pic of the storm breaking up,too!
I've always wondered what would happen if I had car trouble on that road. Now I know. I think I'll bring two spare tires if I ever hike White Mountain again!
I had almost exactly the same thing happen to me down in Death Valley, at the trailhead of Marble Mountain. Limped 6 miles down a gravel road on the rim before I could call AAA, and they wouldn't offer assistance until you are back on a paved road. Lukily, it wasn;t the Film Festval Weekend (for the record, the Lone Pine Film Festival is always the first weekend in October. You should always plan around it, just like Mule Days in Bishop.)
It's like the old man says, "All great adventures begin and end in the dark."
It just goes to show ya how quickly things change. I mountain biked White Mtn a day earlier (Fri. Oct 6th, 2006). You'll get it next time.

Good thing you know everything and always carry two spare tires in your truck. Judging people without knowing them is a risky thing my friend... If you have any more 'constructive' feedback, I'd be happy to explain you a few things in private.
Too bad natural selection doesn't take care of know-it-all jackasses...
Let's see dingleberry, I've only lived right by the White Mountains, and have been up there too many times to count. Welcome again to a new pompous member who thinks he knows everything.
I've never had a problem in any of my vehicles, let alone two flat tires simultaneously. What are the odds of that, you sh*theel? Did we need SAR? I don't think so.
Can you read moron, or do you have trouble since you amputated your penis and ate it for sustenance on one of your rescues?
Did you read? We turned around when things got sketchy. Oh I forgot, you used to scan with your penis to read , because your fingers were always jammed up your arse and nose. Now, it is impossible for you to be able to read.
What an a-hole you are!
I doubt you quit search and rescue, you probably got too fat, and everyone couldn't stand you so they kicked you off the all volunteer team. Why don't you do us a favor and go get lost in the woods?

Re: Ugh!...or just get off-road tires. Apparently, GM's stock tires are pretty crappy we later found out... Thx for reading!

Good Story TellingThe moral seems to be: if you think things can't get worse, think again. Always got to be prepared for life to throw you some curves.

You go too easy on the room situationIt would have been a smooth road had we taken my Toyota.
Yeah, and call it logic if you want, your lazy ass just wanted to kick it in the car. ;-)

Re: You go too easy on the room situationYou betcha ;-)! I guess it's either off-road tires or a slooow drive.

Re: Deja VuIt's one of those things you don't always think about and of course it happens when least expected!

Re: Up high, things change quickly...I never have very much luck with mountains and weather; ironically enough Shasta seemed to be an exception.
