To make up for all the lost time yesterday we got up at 4:30am and we packed and rolling by 5. We got five miles and were once again stuck in the mud. Three hours later we were free and heading for a different access point to the pass that would take us to the dry part of the desert.
Once again we came across a mud flat and this time decided to put on the chains. We also enlisted the aide if a local truck driver to stick around in case we needed a tow. This getting stuck stuff is getting tedious!
Two hours later we were ready to give it a try. Stuck again. Digging, lugging tocks, and laying sand mats. Three hours layer we were back on the road and six hours behind.
We reached the get camp outside of the singing dunes around 10pm. Dinner and hot showers were waiting.
