Richins Reunion continued...

After we packed up got the kids in the car seats we headed down the mountain. As we drove down the mountain we saw Allison walking up the mountain.
I guess she wasn't ready to leave quite yet.
They had left about 10 minutes before us so I wasn't really sure what she was doing. We stopped to pick her up and she was carrying 3 lug nuts that had broke up of their front tire. We went down the mountain to see where Kenny had pulled off and to see the damage that had been done.
Here is what it looked like after Dustin and Kenny took the tire off.

Headed back to the campsite.


The "reliable"quad stopped running. Poor Kenny was so frustrated but he got it running again so we continued up the mountain.
Dustin dropped us off and went with Kenny to find some parts.
Thankfully Diane and Walter and Kirk and Alberta were already planning on staying another night. They were so nice to offer us food and drinks since we had nothing with us.
The only ones that were thrilled we were staying another night was Kenlie and Ashlynn. They were running around holding hands saying... "We are Staying, We are Staying!" It was so cute.
Dustin and Kenny ended up having to drive to Flagstaff to get some tools and parts and was finally able to get the wheel off so Kenny could use our spare on the way home. They also were using their spare on the back tire from a flat that happened on this trip.
So they get ready to head back to camp after they get the spare all set up and everything and the battery on our Tahoe is dead. So Kenny and Dustin head back up to camp about midnight in search of some jumper cables. Thankfully Kyle had some and then they went back down and returned with both trucks.
We went to bed and woke up packed once again and followed the Brittons off the mountain. I think we were all very happy to be home once we got there.
