turboplanner Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 And as it dries out, if you fly up there and feel like landing, don't do it; there are at least two Cessnas permanently stuck out there after hopeful pilots misjudged the crust, and one night I was driving around in the dark in a Jackaroo with camper trailer thinking "The lake must be around here somewhere!" when that ominous engine note indicated it might be a good idea to hit the gas and select 4WD on the fly, and I was lucky enough to describe a neat arc and bounce up on to the hard dirt.
Vev Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Nice pics ... I guess the yacht club regatta is off then! Hey Turbs ... I can relate to that story having spent quite a bit of time on various salt lakes myself ... although I've not always been as lucky to get the 4wd out back onto the hard stuff without a tow rope. Cheers Vev
