Hi Josh.

Whoa! Scary stuff. Good thing you had the people power to get out of that ditch. As for me, the closest thing I have experienced was being 3 hours away from human beings in the Costa Rican jungle. We always felt stuck if something went wrong LOL.

  Thanks for the comment Ryan! I can imagine it would be scary being so isolated in the jungle. Costa Rica is high on my list!
