The Black Cloud award goes to Bob and Robby. They had a U-joint in
the rear driveshaft fail in Stanfield. After hammering it back
together they went back to Casa Grande to get it fixed. They started
out again with new U-joints and got as far as Wickenburg before the
Blazer stopped dead in the middle of the highway. This turned out to
be a melted wiring harness. Since this repair was going to take a while,
Amy drove up in the Tahoe to rescue them. On Saturday morning they
had a flat tire on the Tahoe near Payson. Thanks to Bob for taking care
of all the breakages -- none of the rest of us had any failures on the
trail. I drove the whole way with a bad rear brake rotor and a missing
rear shock -- undiscovered damage from Eagle Creek in January.
Jon and John stopped at Zabriskie Point just in time to miss sunset on
Wednesday. Everybody went in to Furnace Creek for dinner.
