So my sister and I are about to drive the Rubicon trail with Jeep
Did you know the more people climb Mount Kilimanjaro then drive the Rubicon trail only about
7,000 people annually make this trek across the trail in a briefing yesterday
They told us people die break limbs get stranded for days because they break apart on their vehicles
What did we sign up for the only thing I am concerned about is the cell reception, but that's okay
I packed a Starlink and a bag full of snacks now. Thankfully since we are doing this with Jeep
They have pretty much everything set up. They have mechanics. They have spotters. They have guides
So that's why I'm not really worried at all. So I guess with that let's get this adventure started right now
We're gonna be heading to the airport to get on a helicopter and it's gonna drop us where our vehicles are. This is so wild
Helicopter ride was successful and we made it to the camp or all of the Jeeps are this is my and Jenna's look at it
It's blue we're about to head off on this adventure we have no cell reception don't know what's gonna happen
But that's the fun of it, right? I don't even know what to expect
Look at all these Jeeps throughout the afternoon. You're gonna hear a lot of terrible noises. They're extremely
nerve-wracking and
Will rake on your ears. However, that's what these vehicles are built for
When we're out there that first time that that hits and you hear that squeaker that squealer that bang
You put you get used to
We're about to take off cameras are mounted I'm driving first
They're telling me all of these things and I'm like you do realize I've never done this before slow is fast fast is slow
Wow our first obstacle, oh my gosh, look we're gonna be going on that. Are they telling me to go?
I can't see anything below me though
All right
Like it looked like I was going into the like straight into the water. Thank you
We have to do this for four hours, no, we get to do this for four hours we know we have to now because we're
here
I think so
Because it doesn't feel like you should be able to do now what we're doing. No, it doesn't yeah, I got thumbs up
So you're good
No, the thumbs up
We'll get to the fun stuff in a minute. Oh boy. That wasn't fun
There's so much adrenaline I after each one like I literally like I'm gonna cry
I felt like the biggest one yet because it feels like you just like we're in a car accident
Dude I feel like I had a heart attack
We're so close to the water I have a headache I just want to floor it. Okay. I don't think that's
So loud
We're now taking a small break they packed us little box lunches very very cute
I've got a little turkey sandwich in here. My anxiety is so high like it's not really anxiety
It's more like adrenaline so every single time you go over top of like one of these rocks
It's like and then you come down. It's it's literally feels like a car accident
It feels like you're not supposed to be doing it. You're not supposed to be but I guess you are in these Jeeps
fighting international is difficult
Compared to what what you just did
Look at that
Starlink all set up
Jenna's driving now
We're in the middle of nowhere and the fact that I have a satellite just sitting right here in the front of the dashboard
It's pretty wild anytime. We ever thought we went off-roading. We did it
There we go Jenna's driving now
That's a big rock
That's good place for bears my seatbelt has activated into safety safety, I've been wishing mine would
We're almost there they are almost here just five hours later
You guys are headed to camp nice right now your camp is right up here
But I have to ask you what was your favorite part of the trip? Oh the fact that we survived
We made it well halfway this is where we camp for the night and then we continue on tomorrow actually we hike okay
We hike I'm sweaty. I'm dusty crazy. This was an incredible experience. I can't wait for tomorrow
Made it to the top. Here's all of our tents. Everything is all set up. It is like a never-ending adventure. Hey, how's it going?
Oh my gosh, so good. So there are bear spottings here
Friendly the tent setup is so cute. They've got a little cot for us a little seat and all of the amenities
Check this out. This is the shower situation that they have all set up. They've got barrels of water
They've got the shower here and now I'm gonna get clean before dinner
We made it down for dinner. So our actual camp is all the way up here
It takes about 10-15 minutes to hike up. Oh a starling or something else. That's pretty crazy
They have a piano that they flew in like there's somebody
There was a point today that I was worried, oh jeez, I hope that they have enough food for all of us
This is the biggest steak ever Jenna has a whole pasta meal over here
We just had dinner time for dessert, we've got pie ice cream time to feast and go to sleep
Her little tent I sat down. It was real nice and comfy. Yeah, you look like you do look so comfy in there
It is officially time for bed. I'm exhausted today was so much fun. And we have another full day tomorrow
I'm gonna get some sleep. Hopefully it doesn't get too cold and wake up bright and early for breakfast night night
Good morning, everyone. It is the next day. I did not sleep
I think at all my aura ring asked me if I took a nap and I was like, yeah
I guess that's what you want to call it. We have another trek back to the hotel today
So it's gonna take us I think about maybe five or so hours and hopefully the trails a little bit easier
They said that the first part of the trail is gonna be just as difficult as it was at the beginning yesterday
I've also got my little boo-boo. They both are decked out in their gear
I think they actually dress better than I did for this trip. Just had breakfast everyone had their coffee
And now we're on our way
We're sideways right now. Oh jeez. Jenna left me. I'm in the car. I'm alone
You getting back in? Welcome. Say hi to our front camera
Lots more help on the trail today. This is supposed to be really tough. I mean it is
This is a 10 out of 10 difficulty Jess. I've never even done a 1 out of 10 in my life
This next obstacle looks like
We're literally going straight up into the air
All I have to do is do exactly what he's telling me to do
It's gonna feel a little wonky. Yep. Yeah
Just pause for a moment. Look how pretty. Look at the mountain. Don't look at the mountain
Straight he's telling you up there straight. I see him. I see him
That was the hardest one yet. That was insane. Oh my dear god
Dude there's some lights up here. There's some purple lights. What's happening?
Hey
Just asking for a friend. How much longer do we have?
We're just trying a little something just trying something to take the edge off
So you stop for like a little pit stop here and we put the Starlink up on this the roof
Dude, I had 90 down 5 up. Oh
I've so much dust in my lungs
I
Have never been so happy to be driving on like a paved road right now
Look how smooth this is dude. How crazy does it feel you feel weird?
No, I feel like I'm like the best driver in the world now
I mean you just completed one of the hardest trails. Take me to the Ritz. Ah, oh my goodness
We've made it back to civilization. There's pavement. There's pavement
We're almost there
You should have put our at so people could find us
You're just gonna be too long. No, you got it. You have extra space fellow for fun
We did it
There's a stop sign. Oh my gosh a stop sign. Make sure you stop. I have to stop. Yeah, we're cruising. I
Truly can't believe that we made it back in one piece. The Jeep has survived. We have survived
And now it's time to go and just shower. I cannot wait
Is this your cable or my key? That's my cable. Bye
Where do we pee I think we pee in the woods
