Hour 4 - "Taking It Easy!"
and "Did I just break my car?"
After the scenic stop, I took over again. It looked like all
the other cars had joined up to make one large group so we all
left the river together. We weren't pushing quite as hard as
we had before and it was a pretty enjoyable drive. I wasn't
pushing as hard as I had before and there were quite a few instances
when I purposely didn't push the car, for instance there were
quite a few straight-aways where I could have gone much faster
but I decided to limit my speed to about 80. As we continued
on, the group headed toward another scenic viewpoint, but Ben
and I decided to continue on our own. We took a break at an
intersection (see pics). We even saw a cop drive by, but he
didn't even give us a glance. We also spent some time looking
for some camera batteries that I had lost during Ben's spirited
driving (I just found one of them today... so only one is still
missing). Right about then the group showed up again and we
continued on.
But then, we had car trouble. Every time we turned hard there
was a strange rattling noise on the passenger side so we turned
off the road to take a look. Some of the cars saw our troubles
and radioed ahead to inform everyone else. Ben and I took a
look and couldn't figure out what the problem was and decided
to continue on and see if it got worse. As we drove over the
top of a hill, I was quite surprised to find all the other cars
waiting for us! Now that's chivalry! It was very encouraging
to know that our fellow enthusiasts were concerned about our
well-being and were willing to wait for us.
After that we continued on only to discover a dog in the road,
blocking traffic. Everyone got around it except for the silver
WRX behind us. They ended up stuck behind the dog for a minute
or so and by the time they got around it they ended up stuck
behind a truck as well. I held back so they wouldn't end up
lost, as did a coupe other cars and slowly but surely we all
made it to the end without any serious problems. |
