A few days ago my wife and I decided to explore a new road to us. The "Lone mountain" road out of O'Brian, Oregon to Patricks creek, ca area. It was a cloudy day with rain clouds. We had not plotted the road and were not sure where it would lead us to except to hwy 199 in California. We spent the first nite along a beautiful stream and ventured off the next morning. Yes we got lost or turned around, didn't read the road signs correctly or whatever. Anyway we got on the wrong road and were making our way up and I do mean UP this road which turned out to be THE WRONG WAY. We got stuck. We ran out of power and the old Dolphin would not move forward. Tried to back down, 2.9 miles, but the front end would not respond to any commands. The front wheels would only lock-up under braking and skid, it would not steer. We were headed toward a drop off off off off damn that was scary. Called 911. Only way to get cell phone response and put on extended service. Anyway a tow truck was dispatched from Grants Pass,or. This was at 2:30PM. They searched until 10:00PM and could not locate us. Yes it is dark now very dark. Yes we did spend the nite up on the mountain. It's very difficult to sleep when your bed is at a 22 or so degree angle. My wife slid out of bed and toppled onto her head, boy I heard of that. Not much sleep that nite. It was bad. Anyway A guy on a motorcycle road up the mountain and drew a map of our location which we passed on to Search and Rescue. This guy is a life saver. He is a member of this forum. What a coincidence, two weeks or so ago we were in Brookings,oregon and met a woman in the Bi-mart parking lot. She said she had a toyota sunrader motor home. Yes these two people are a couple, Lee and Joan. "THANK YOU". Search and Rescue got us out of our fix by winching us up to an area that we could turn around and drive down the mountain. Hit US199 at 5:30PM 28 hours later. Darrel and his understanding wife
