Well they found each other. On a way out he got sunk all the way to the frame into sand so our group was digging him out for about hour and half.
His salesman told him: ‘Land Rovers don’t get stuck in sand’. He may even told him that they can climb trees like in the Gods Must Be Crazy Movie.

It is morning and we are ready to leave. I was worrying all night since there were about four other cars that were stuck in sand going out or coming in.

Our lead car got stuck on a way out. I am next to go with my 2WD. Lowered my tire pressure to 20 PSI, locked my differential got my speed up. I am flying, no problem. Carol’s photo.
