The committee decided that should the weather gods play havoc with conditions we needed a plan B. To that end AJ, Mrs AJ, MLC and Mrs MLC decided to conduct the confidential mission to check out sights and opportunities in the Loxton / Berri / Barmera area.
The 1st started with a mission to a secret private location to which AJ had access before they invented 4wds. It is believed he took the family horse up there after fitting some oversized horse shoes. There was no doubt that he knew this place well, so well he referred to the local wildlife by name.
We drove around snaking through a myriad of hills, dips, angled turns and quickly began enjoying the natural layout of the 4wd challenges on offer, well for a short time anyway.
AJ decided to approach a simple wind swept drop-off. Rather unassuming but never-the-less requiring a degree of thought. It was at this point that reputations were destroyed, the mighty toppled and Mrs AJ, so relaxed in her role as backup driver held helpless as she was trapped by sand due to the "occurrence" that unfolded.
The story is well documented in the following footage, but BE WARNED, this is not for the believers that walk amongst us. Many have placed AJ on the highest pedestal so rightiously deserved through never getting stuck and conquering such challenges as Madigans, the Cape, Nolans and many others that only the bravest and most fearsome 4wders amongst dare say, let alone face head-on. This is definitely NOT FOR CHILDREN who will suffer many nightmares from the absolute devastation that the footage portrays. Those with pacemakers or suffers of Angina should also avoid these videos at all cost.
People, you have been warned and remember, it's ok to look away.

Ok, apologies to those viewers who found that stressful. The mission was not a total failure. In line with the rule that we don't leave anyone behind, those amongst us that were mobile swung into action, providing a quick and calculated response to ensure both AJ and Mrs AJ survived and turned what could have been a horrific situation into a productive achievement as seen later in this thread.

Great save!
