OCTOBER 2006 -We (Cristian, Andres, Gabriel & Myself) got stuck yet again in an adventure of off-roading exploration. Our challenge was to reach La Tigra, a remote village on the San Juan River just east of Boca Sarapiqui and west of Bara del Colorado Wildlife Refuge. The final five kilometers to La Tigra was horrendously potholed and muddy. We loved it! Unfotunately we got stuck in a large, muddy pit just two kilometers from the river. Our own efforts to liberate my Isuzu Rodeo were totally in vain. We were in the middle of nowhere. The nearest farm with a tractor was perhaps ten kilometers away. We were so desperate that we searched for a local farmer to haul us out with cattle. The farmer was nowhere to be found. Fortunately seven very friendly and extraordinarily helpful Nicaraguans trekking along the same road gave us fourteen extra hands! After an hour of sweating, straining, hauling and propping logs and getting super soaked and muddy as it rained, the car was liberated. YEAAAAAH! As you'll see in the final two photos we got to repay the favor hauling their own car up a slick, muddy hill.
