Facebook Marketplace Deal Gone Wrong, Riding Dirtbikes in Romania, Ben Went Missing!

The transcription captures a casual, humorous conversation among a group of friends, likely YouTubers, centered on their shared passion for off-road motorcycling. The main narrative follows Spenny detailing his experience at Red Bull Romaniacs, a notoriously difficult five-day enduro race in Romania. He describes the prologue in downtown CBU, the daily routine of waking early, riding up to 180 kilometers through mountainous terrain, and navigating via GPS with strict speed limits on transfer sections. He recounts encounters with sheep, aggressive stray dogs that chased him, and a mechanical failure where his bike lost oil but miraculously held together. Despite the challenges, Spenny finished 10th overall in his class, a significant achievement given he was riding a heavy adventure bike. The group also shares a comedic story about getting lost in a rental truck on Jeep trails, turning a frustrating situation into laughter. A major anecdote involves a mix-up where prop money from a giveaway was accidentally used to purchase a bike, causing a police investigation that was resolved after explaining the situation and reimbursing the seller. The tone is playful and self-deprecating, with frequent interruptions and jokes, as they also tease each other about mail habits and international police stereotypes. The conversation ends with anticipation for riding Pack Saddle the next day, marking it as "day one" of their own adventure.

I slowed down and I looked back and there was a bike just folded on the ground. And like a kid laying in the grass. No. Oh my gosh. I take another wrong turn and we end up on dirt bike trails in the rental truck. Look, we got 5 million subscribers here. The last thing we're trying to do is scam one of them. We're trying to scam one of them. at any no no how did you turn around when you finally realized after four hours yeah uh honestly i don't even know at this point dude straight up i don't even know what was going on at this point because like another classic ben roth blackout no at this point it just it just straight up turned into this is this is hilarious we drove an hour down the wrong way yeah like we only called you and razzed you the one time but you guys pulled up finally laughing your asses off at each other so so we were so we were so cooked because like the first turn that we missed i'll admit was my fault and then uh once we realized that we were lost dalton goes oh we can just plug it into the gps on the truck and then he brought us the wrong way so i bring us out 45 minutes in the wrong direction and then he brings us another 45 minutes in the wrong direction and then he brings us another 45 minutes in the wrong direction and then he brings us another 45 minutes in the wrong direction and so we're driving down the road and this jeep pulls up next to us and i'm pulling a trailer keep in mind i'm pulling a trailer and we're like in a shitty rental dude we're on jeep trails at best we're on jeep trails at best and this jeep this jeep pulls up next to me and he he just stops and puts down his window like probably just being a good guy of like i need to tell these guys they're going the wrong way and i just go we on the right way to cold creek no bud silver no they go no he didn't even he didn't even say that he just goes you missed the turn a long ways back buddy and i go i go so you're saying i can't get there if i keep going straight and he goes if you keep going straight you're driving off of a fucking mountain i asked declan i said if you keep going where do where do you go he goes uh montana and then i think canada and then ben calls us finally goes i'm on a dirt bike trail yeah it was ugly i'm gonna be honest it was ugly but once we did realize that we were lost we were like well we might as well enjoy ourselves so we just started playing music and i'm chilling on a dirt road and i think that's when we missed another turn you're like this being lost isn't so bad we're we're on the right track now set back yeah and then anyway oh this town where were you going yeah a little town okay yeah so it's like 45 minutes down the road if if you take the right turns but if you keep going past where we are there's this little town that has like i don't know what 10 houses probably yeah not many seasonal too 10 houses and they're all but but they all live there year round to my understanding and they can't leave in the winter because this turns into a snowmobile trail i mean i think some of them are seasonal but the ones that do stick around are like the the real yeah they got not only are they seasonal but they're seasonal but they're seasonal but they're seasonal but they're on tracks yeah they go by boat to town yeah and they get their mail by boat and they're you know all heating their houses with the fireplace a little post office there by the dock at the shed yeah i thought that was a joke it's just a sign on a on a shed yeah a tool shed decky was saying that the usps delivers mail when they feel like it and it might be every two months really it might be he said people will go two months without getting their mail i mean other than amazon what's the last good thing you got in the mail in the mail that's what i'm saying nothing what i mean you're right other than amazon you guys like you don't get stuff in the mail yeah like bills and shit no good stuff what if you order something on ebay like a like a yamaha banshee part and it comes usps and do you not check your mail the last times never while since i don't even think i have a mailbox what do you get in the mail there's really a lot of people trying to get a hold of it's probably just another debt collectors wedding you just ryan just hit us with what do you get in the mail so much shit so much i mean ryan this is you might need to check your mail brother i don't i don't i think you need to check your mailbox i don't think or maybe get one i i don't have one right now but i don't think alondra and i have checked our mail since we moved out for renovations did you rsvp to my wedding right yeah but i saw you at works i had to you're not joking no no i don't oh and you actually don't have a mailbox and you're talking like mailbox specific mail so usually envelopes the post office has a closet full of your shit packages yeah packages come to my door fedex ups come to your door but like paper mail you have you don't get any of that no but you know even like email for example like when my uh contacts ship to me they come usps and they still put them in the mailbox because it's a tiny little container i don't know anything i ever need is at the united states post service you live in the united states and you don't get it huh i don't even know i don't even know if that's legal he's like what is i think you're breaking the law right now spenny's like what's the post office do you have a post office yeah we got canada post what do they deliver on horses the police officer is also the mailman dude how about justin he's in europe right now somewhere in france and the cops roll around on roller blades and i go how literally do they get any respect at all and then he just goes they don't man i just picture bruno for some reason yeah can you imagine being like yeah you're on duty tonight you know make sure the drunkos don't forget to lube your marriage gosh or maybe it's a choice but then the fact that the department even lets them roll around like that imagine having to handcuff somebody but you're on roll yeah you're on blades they start running and they start pulling you exactly dude it's not something you just slide out of when you got to put the cuffs on and make an arrest they have an extra set to put the criminal in the person you're chasing hits gravel yeah what are you gonna do run down the gravel or it goes upstairs or downstairs can you imagine standing on the boulevard being like yeah it just says run through a yard there's gotta be some there's a huge one stairs stairs are no easy task not impossible dude imagine though you the cops chasing you and hits like a sick grind or something that'd be cool but then yeah i imagine like the the cop that's like normal and wear shoes and then he's like yo donnie can you get him to the guy on fruit boots is saying that and then he's like dude rick stop wearing the blades man like what if he's gonna jump in his car quick yeah dude this is this is ridiculous i mean it seems like it shouldn't be a thing what country i agree france i mean i gotta look this up looking croissants also i i did think the the e-quad tours in the city was kind of weird they they did city tours right but then they do them on electric utility quads and i was like what safer than a moped i agree yeah fuck up a moped two wheels are harder than four dude i tell you this much takes a true most people most people need to pass like at least like a series of questions before they should be allowed to ride a moped what are the spenny just got back from romania what are the cops do in romania uh dude the cops in romania are huge they're just big big romanian dudes like they just literally are they're just big guys like they look like you don't want to mess with them yeah you don't want to mess with them i don't think because they're they're just literally big guys seems like a place that would like be okay with a little bit of police corruption you know they don't need rollerblades there because they just shoot you on sight what else was cool i wasn't thinking quite that aggressive but that's good what else is cool about romania i ended up going to romania for 10 days for uh they call it the world's toughest hardener and it's a red bull race called red bull romaniacs it was gnarly it was it was heavy it's really hard to paint the picture for people of how gnarly it was on the bike you were riding yeah you're riding a so i'll break your touring bike yeah well twice the weight of a 300 so i went down and i was racing the adventure class so like at this race there's you can you can race a 300 two-stroke which is what the most hard neuro guys will ride and then and then there's guys with other bikes entering but there was probably like maybe five to 600 dirt bikes and then 60 to 70 adventure bikes and there was different classes so there's like a pro class with like the red bull riders the best guys in the world and then in the adventure class there's a pro class for that which is what i was racing honestly the adventure class was more stacked than the pro class there was more guys in the adventure class riding adventure bikes with red bull helmets than in the actual class and no offense spenny great way to phrase this question but why would anyone ever want to do that ride it uh an adventure bike on the the terrain that you were doing it like it just seems miserable just to see if you can well just because you can doesn't mean you should so didn't you hear me only had to beat 70 guys not 600 exactly is that why no no no it just seems so hard out of my head i'm passing literally 90 guys on 300s the whole race oh like i only passed guys on 300s why because you're fat like what i was because is the course the same what for both pro on three So how it works is you fly in, and you rent a bike from a dealership, and I was racing for a manufacturer, so they supplied the bike, and then you hire a pit crew. So you have these Romanian guys and girls that are the pit crew. All on rollerblades. And they are just running your bike. All on rollerblades. The whole pit crew. No, that's France. So you fly in, and they have your bike set up. I ordered, like, seven sets of tires, and then, like, GPS mounts and stuff, and all your gear. And honey waffles. Honey waffles, all your gear. You fly in, you get your bike, you set up your tires, you set up your bars, and then you have a GPS. So it's a GPS race. You get your GPS set up, you hand it in. Every day, you hand it in, and they download the tracks onto your GPS. Well, because they don't want anyone to know it. They don't want anybody to know before the race. No plan yet. Yeah. So the first day, it's a five-day-long race. You fly in. The first day is a, like, enduro-cross track that's super gnarly, but it's in the city. So it's, like, downtown CBU. Yeah, we watched. We watched on TV. It was gnarly. We watched. Easily the gnarliest part of the whole race. Like, doing an enduro-cross race on a 400-and-whatever-50-pound adventure bike. It's a motorcycle. Yeah. It's not even a dirt bike. It's a street bike. Yeah, it's literally a street bike with dirt tires. Yeah. And so we get down there, and I'm, like, so jet-legged. I'm up at 3 a.m. because I didn't fly in enough days early. We do a practice lap. We're out riding these adventure bikes over, like, a super gnarly man-made course. Like, going over big tractor tires, going through rock sections. Then they put a water pit before the rock section, so it makes the rocks slipperier and makes it harder. And so we end up doing that. I kind of had a shit go on that. I didn't do very good. Dude, you know what those nerds that were announcing were saying? Yeah, they were chirping. They were chirping. Yeah, they were, like, ooh. Like, directly at Spenny? Yeah, they were, like, ooh, turns out that Red Bull Romaniacs is harder than making a YouTube video. Yeah. Yeah, dude. We tuned in while we were watching Spenny, and we were, like, these fucking dweebs are chirping Spenny right now. My chain came off in the rocks. I'll be honest.

It's funny because the guys weren't out there. They weren't even out there, man. They're hiding in the booth. They're hiding in the booth and they're chirping. You should have rode up and been like pointing at them. Get out of here, buddy. No, it's funny. So the first day was gnarly. Downtown enduro cross track. So after that day, you hand your bike to the mechanics and you get your bike changed. So I do different things. I do different tire setups for the next day and get the bike dialed in. The mechanics fix it up, get it ready. And day two, you wake up 5 a.m. You go downstairs, eat breakfast at like 5.30. So it's an early morning, the long days. And you get your GPS and you go to the paddock. They call it the paddock. So it's a paddock start. And you have to Uber from the hotel to your bike, which is in a totally different place. At 5.30 a.m., it's an early morning. In Romania. In Romania. You have no clue like where you are. You're just running off of like, hey, I need to go to this place. And they take you. You get your bike, throw your GPS on, and you ride to this like start point on the GPS. It locks you in and you drive. You follow your GPS. And there's a start point. Ben, quit pointing at me. I'm sorry, Spenny. Do you have something to say? No, I have nothing to say. He just keeps laughing. No, I'm laughing because you're being a weirdo. No. I originally laughed at Spenny just describing his morning. You wake up, I eat some breakfast. That made me giggle, but then you are just messing with me. No, but you won't stop smiling and chuckling. Because out of my peripheral, I just see you sitting there pointing at me or whatever you're doing. I don't know. I'm trying to not. I'm trying to focus on Spenny's day. Five days. Please continue. So you get to this like paddock start, and you have a barcode on the front of your bike, and they scan you in onto the course. So you get scanned, and then you're live on the racetrack. And you basically, it's the weirdest thing ever. You're in the parking lot, and they scan you in. They wave a flag, and you just drive out onto the highway on your bike. Like 300s are just, like you can just ride your 300 two-stroke anywhere you want on the streets. Like they do not care about anything. You can just ride your bike anywhere you want. So there's all these like dirt bikes just driving down the highway. Like through traffic? Through traffic. You're weaving through traffic. And you are racing through traffic? Well, like there's a speed limit. So if you speed, you get time docked. It's the same concept of rally racing. It's the same concept as rally racing, kind of. Rally racing races on the road? They're all street legal. Yeah, they're street legal, and they have like. They're racing with live traffic? You need to hit your time is what you're saying. You need to hit your time. Like you can't get on the road and go like 120. You got to follow the speed limits otherwise. In rally racing, when you go to different stages, that's part of it. Sometimes it's called a transfer. It's called a transfer section. I went to one in Oregon when Ken was racing, and we were going for the next stage, and he like passed us on the highway. Yeah, there's transfer sections. Full race trim, everything. It's a transfer section because the course can't be so long. No, it makes sense. Different stages. But that's like part of it? Yeah. Yeah, it's part of it. So you have to follow the track. Yeah, and follow the speed limit. And follow the speed limit. And you have to be at a gate at a certain time to start. So you like can't really screw around, and you get on the highway, drive through, and literally we get onto gravel, and I'm driving down the gravel, and it's a cornfield. And I'm like, dude, this is crazy. I'm literally riding down a cornfield. Like there's no barbed wire fences anywhere, which is super weird. Which is a good thing for you. Why? Because you got tangled in a barbed wire fence last week. Oh, yeah, true. Yeah, I did. There's no barbed wire fences. Like it seems like there's no fencing anywhere. Just wipes that big beat of sweat off his forehead. Thank God. Just open field. Just open field. And no piles of horse shit. No, there's a lot of horse shit. But so I get onto the first road, and I'm cruising up like this little Romanian village, and I just start seeing like sheep. And the next thing I know, there's just like 300 sheep on the side. Like there's just a guy with 300 sheep, and I'm like riding my dirt bike. Freddie, you might have missed your gate. That's what I would have been wondering. You were riding through a sheep. There was a sheep pasture. Is that called it? Is it a shepherd? Is a shepherd where it has all the sheep? Yeah, there was a shepherd. Did he have the stick with the like a big oversized cane? I didn't want to hit like there was a sheep. There was like probably six huge dogs. Like, dude, the dogs out there were huge and fluffy. Sheep guiding the sheep. Sheep dogs. But no, there is. There's stray dogs out there, which I have another funny story about the stray dogs. There's stray dogs everywhere, and they're huge, and they're so fluffy. Just like the cops. Oh, yes. Freddie's like, so I had to stop. Freddie, were you not wearing like tall shoes or something? No. Did you feel short? small on this trip no because everything seems big everything seems big yeah but the saying that was romania everything's big huge they have that the saying like everything's bigger in romania yeah they do say that okay so you're avoiding sheep so they part the sheep you drive through so i'm on a live racetrack and there's just literally guys going about their lives like they're just working like farmers just working and i'm on a live track and you get scanned into the single track and you just start you just literally you go straight from gravel road straight to like pretty gnarly single track you get scanned in and then from there on out you just pound single track for the whole day so you're like on a single track climbing up a mountain and then you get up on top of a mountain and you're running across a ridge and it's just open romanian like like kind of like where we were today you're just looking across and it's just big rolling mountains every you maybe 20 minutes or so like you ride by yourself for a lot of the day and you're starting at 6 a.m and riding till like 2 p.m in the afternoon so long ass day on how many miles are you doing like or kilometers i think the first day was 180 kilometers you're pulling down miles and it's you get into a hard section you're you're riding some tight signal track it's you're down in the bottom or something it's slippery rooty and rocky and the next thing you know you're just climbing up a mountain up a straight single track for like 10 minutes and then you get up to the top and you're blast across a ridge and then you drop down the backside of another mountain so that was the first day and the first day we actually sounds like ben with the truck in the trailer yeah you're just literally just getting out into the middle of nowhere it was rocky rootery as you describe it rocky rocky greasy rootery and greasy i love that ice cream so the first day the first day you i thought the first day was hard enduro in the city no when was that that's the prelims that's the that's the prologue yeah could you still call that the first day the first off-road day that's what they call it well i don't know how many first days can you have in romania because there's the day you fly in there's the the first day you ride but it's not the real fucking riding and then your third first day you're in the first off off-road day i'm sorry but you've said first day three fucking times betty all right well the next day you have a start but it's a remote start so you're in a totally different town i'm sorry you are you're just a great kid dude i'm just trying to tell a story and you're doing excellent i'm sorry it's ready one day was dude nobody gets older in romania you stay the same age for your entire life how old are you one all right shit all right we got we got so what happens the next day so it's the first day it's the next day from the day that we just got off of we're on to the next day now it's not that hard to comprehend i love you okay and and so was there sheep in day two would it be no there was no sheep in day two but there were some actual scary dogs this is the second okay i was gonna say scary dogs on day two we could interlude interlude to the scary big dog story yeah it does so not fluffy so the day that we just how many days since your plane landed three okay some might call that day day three but that's not day three of the race it was scary dog day it's not dog day scary dog day hold on hold on you're you're playing lands and then the next day you do your enduro log and then the next day is your day first day one day off road day one so by my track you're on day four right now no i'm on day three you're still day three yeah all right by my track you're on day two of the race yeah day two of the race that you just got done riding yeah so i guess yeah you're on day three now god not to beat a dead horse what is the prologue if it's not a day of the race yeah you never disclosed the prologue at the beginning oh it's the qualifier i mean i guess that makes sense it's not the race it's the qualifier that brings up a good point if you do shitty in the prologue you don't even get to race no you just you go all the way to rolling start way in the back got it let me tell you about that i'm really good at starting way in the back after a shitty prologue okay so spenny tell us about the dogs okay so the you start in one city and you ride all the way through the mountains and you're just in another city and you have to stay in another city so you have to put your bags into like a van it's not that funny it's really not you're describing transportation because it's gnarly you literally bro my van was fucking gnarly i'm sorry i'm sorry i've never holy shit we gotta have like there's gotta be some gas leakage or something oh the two strokes get into us all right spenny so you ship your bags how you got there on the airplane well you you're riding your bike across a mountain range you just show up in another random city you have no clue where you are because you just race through the map it was on your gps where you're oh so they but you don't know where you're going you're just following a line you're just following a blue line and so when you get to the city like do they have a hotels arranged or you have everything arranged oh so once you're in you're kind of good yes you get to just a totally different random place and you're just starting fresh again you don't know where anything is god it's day one all over again it's literally a whole new day that you have to experience a fever dream all right it's funny carry on let's hear about these dogs oh it's just i can't just get there i gotta get i gotta go through steps to get there what did the fucking van with your luggage have to do with the dogs it's a step that you have to take to get there i'm kidding i'm sorry let's go you're right you're right shut up shut up let let the man story tell okay it's pretty soon i'm trying to get it together all right i'll set the setting bro i'll set the setting cool it down this is this shit is way too funny i'm trying i'm trying to just like we haven't even got we haven't even got past no no well no i'll set the scene here all right you explain it the best i can you're doing a great job spencer wilton someday in romania go ahead you got a title and thumbnail for your video day one a 15-part series i don't even think spenny thinks it's funny he's just laughing to be a part of it now he wants to tell the story so bad i'm really fucking proud of you for going to romania i just want to know about the dogs can we get to the dogs okay all right i'm ending my story no we're ending it we're only on the first day are you hard ending or you're not gonna leave us with anything oh i can't because there's so much stuff i have to keep going and i just it's not getting anywhere at this point i just keep laughing i'm invested first person to last honestly is getting kicked off i'm fucked that wasn't a laugh that was clearing my throat all right everybody put their mics down and we're gonna let spenny go speak okay so we're starting off in a different town now the gate's dropping we're not keeping track of which day it is anymore we've lost track i'm like climbing up to this top of this mountain and uh i'm like riding and i see some like white shit in the trees and i'm like what the hell is that let alone i've been riding for like a couple hours on my own too so i haven't seen anything in a while like i've just been riding out in the woods the middle of the bush i haven't seen anything in the i haven't seen anything like no people know nothing and i see this like white flash in the woods and i'm like what the hell is that so i kind of like slow down a little bit i kind of slow down a little bit and i like to click my gopro on and i like turn around and there's just three massive dogs like they literally look like wolves and they're just full tilt running as fast as they can at me and i'm like probably going like 10 miles an hour on this trail because i was wondering what it was i was like is that a person or like and did you forget you're in a race you're riding for eight hours a day you're not going as fast as you can 24 7 yeah but you're not supposed to stop and look at the scenery i don't think i was in romania i'm obviously gonna slow down i seen something i hadn't seen anything for like an hour so i saw something that caught my attention and i was like what was that like was that a person or were they nibbling at here were they trying to bite at your wheels so yes so then i like turn around and i look at them like are those dogs and then they start getting closer and they're like barking and drooling and like yeah some dogs get really well like no literally actually scared were they wolves i don't know what they were so i start i grab a couple gears and i'm like kind of cruising a little bit faster and they're just freaking right on my ass just not letting up chasing me as hard as they can like like literally chasing me like they were gonna eat me like they were gonna literally eat me holy shit yeah they were gnarly it was so it was scary i was scared and you there's not other riders really like you aren't coming up around people no i got i see i would see like a kid at a at a check stop or a gas stop and then he would get like two minutes in front of me and then i just wouldn't see him for like for hours and then i'd get out and do another spot and i'd see him for five minutes and then i'd get in front of him and i'd be gone it's like the first the first couple days it wasn't too dusty which day this is a breakthrough but the last are indeed a couple of days the very last wait the first couple does that mean there's multiple firsts yeah the couple of the firsts so you uh you lost them yeah you got away from the what what happened yeah i got away from the dogs they just kind of stopped they were chasing me and then they just i think they realized they couldn't get me and they just stopped and they just like turned around and started walking the other way but they that's how i'm gonna feel in pack saddle tomorrow they were just they were just like it wasn't like i was on somebody's property or anything it was just literally just stray dogs that were just living like there's just stray dogs that just live up in these mountains and they just live there those are wolves yeah literally they're just actual wolf dogs like they're pretty gnarly so we got to see a couple of those which is pretty cool but the last day was supposed to be the hardest day that was my best day because on the third day i had a uh sight glass i was riding up a hill my bike started ticking and i like looked down and my sight glass spun 90 degrees and all my oil blew out and it was blowing white smoke so i was at the top of a mountain i ended up limping my bike like just motor off just mountain biked it down the trail and there was a service pit at the bottom and the mechanics were like oh you're gonna have to do the same thing you're gonna have to do the same thing you're gonna have to do the same thing you're gonna have to do the same thing you're gonna have to do the same thing you're gonna have to do the same thing you're gonna have to do the same thing you're gonna have to do the same thing you're gonna have to do the same thing you're gonna have to do what filled it up with oil and it lasted me another two hours wow so then i was like stressing because i'm riding this bike that just it was ticking for like an hour and i thought it was gonna blow up and it held together on the final day and i the final day was my best day it was a lot like riding in canada honestly a lot like what we ride out here too just like you go through a little creek bed and then up a hill and it's rooty and stuff and then maybe you get up onto a quad trail a lot like today just riding the riding a ridge of a mountain and you don't want to fall down because it's just 300 feet slope down to the left yeah what happens if you do uh you did anyone you kind of just have to i didn't see any you go back to day one i mean luckily i was luckily i was high enough high enough up in the standings that i wasn't really seeing a lot of shitty riders like if i ever saw a rider it was like another pro so we got on on logging roads there was a guy on a that was on the adventure course because we would get on the 300 courses and then we'd get off on our own course and then we'd get back on the courses with the 300s and there was a kid on a 300 that went backwards on our course and we're what all the adventure guys go fast down the roads yeah and they one of the adventure guys head on with a three oh yeah headed on like he's literally head 300 guy was just lost yeah he was lost what he was going the wrong way but he was going the right way and he turned around oh i think the kid maybe broke his neck or something i passed the guy that was in my class and he was stopped and i was like that's weird i was like that's weird he stopped so i slowed down and i looked back and there was a bike just folded on the ground oh and like a kid laying in the grass no oh my gosh like there was i probably passed maybe 10 guys that were piled up on the side of the track one kid i passed him he had a broken wrist he's just sitting on the top of a mountain with his wrist just snapped do you have a sat phone to like call out or what no so on your phone your cell phone there's they have an app that tracks all the riders and if you see another rider you can stop and there's a sos button and you can press it and they have multiple helicopters around the track because the tracks are so long 180k they can't have enough medics there was medic stations like maybe every 50k but i mean still if you get hurt out there you're still sitting up if you get hurt on top of one of the mountains they it's either going to get a heli or they're going to come to you by car or off-road vehicle and it's going to take like a couple hours for sure yeah and you're still in romania yeah when you get down the mountain yeah i don't know what their hospitals are like but that's the craziest part dude breaking your neck yeah you're still in a you're still halfway across the world yeah if you're from the u.s it was hard to move around especially just like you're pretty much living off of a bike like you're going from hotel to hotel on a bike and then your bags are getting shuffled around in vans so you got to get to the hotel that is on your gps but then you have to go and find your bags which is a whole task in itself because you didn't ship it there they just took it and dumped it so you got to find where your shit's at and then you got to get checked into your room and get your gear ready for the next day because it's another eight hour day that you're going to be riding and it was dude it was so much prep and then trying to eat enough calories on top of that too because you're you're not really stopping for lunch you're just kind of cruising all day is it fun i thought i was gonna ask i had a blast it was a lot of work and it was hard riding but i had a blast it was so fun i was sore after the first couple days but then the last whatever days i was fine like i just got into a groove and i got faster my final day was my fastest day i think i finished seventh overall on the final day and total right for the total yeah and then so the final day how many people 40 40 finished yeah or he finished and how many finished i don't know he sank in the adventure class in my class yeah in my class i finished seventh on the final day but then i for the whole event i was 10th overall because your days compile on a so like by the end of the event our total time riding was like 36 hours or something on the bike in whatever five days work week right there sweaty yeah what uh like what percentage do you think is from north america we'll say that like u.s and canada that are in that race like 10 i think it was more european i think it was like mostly european riders and then you'd have like there'd be like crews so you would see like a crew of 10 guys from canada and then you would see like a crew of like 10 guys from the u.s or whatever like three guys from oregon or like you see a guy with american flags and be like oh where you guys from our buddies from texas five me and five my buddies from texas wanted to try this race so we're trying it like they were rolling in like wow and then there was obviously people on like the race teams that are traveling from race to race doing the full circuit too what does the winner get i think the winner got i think there was like a hundred lay up for podium and a hundred lay i'm not sure what it translates over to usd a hundred thousand lay i'm not too sure what it and that's for the pro class or for your class yeah for my class you don't really get anything i mean even just like the the main thing that people go there for is for like the romaniacs finisher medal like a lot of people are there just to try to finish it's like running a marathon it's like running a marathon it's like running an iron man gotcha like you're not really there to win it you're there to like i'd say there's maybe five guys or maybe a handful of guys that are there to win it most of the guys that are you know from the u.s or from canada they're just there to just get a finish in the class that they're racing in it's about 22 000 u.s dollars dude i gotta say even though we've been giving you a hard time about this whole story yes yes what that's funny a comeback from like a year ago potentially never riding a motorcycle double the weight of what you were racing prior yeah the hardest one of the hardest tracks in the world it's a good point like finishing top 10 there's a lot of things that you could have been doing that it's like oh you're you're back but like that's just like pretty solidified that you're very capable yeah it was it was kind of it was super cool for me i mean i watched pastrana and nitro circus go and race that race a long time ago i mean i've been watching that race since i was whatever you know eight years old i've seen so many videos of that race and it's just like it's a legendary red bull race and i had always wanted to do it so it was just actually so cool to go and do it felt surreal kind of you know what's funny is i know about that one and also erzberg yeah because they have cool names and like they just stick like you see a post on it and you're like what's red bull romania yeah i would say out of all the races in the world red bull romaniacs and red bull erzberg rodeo they're probably the two biggest enduro races in the world like if you if you're an enduro guy you know about those two those two races even if you're not if you're not yeah like think of all the races that we haven't heard of but does that mean spenny erzberg next year dude erzberg is a different even story than romania where's that at how many days is that's in uh that's in austria that's i think that's two day it's easy to keep track but i've been on that actually means a full week they say that one's the world's hardest enduro so red bull romaniax is the world's toughest enduro oh my fuck one's long one's long one's hard one's long i actually already do know what you're saying you haven't even fully said it but i know what you're saying yeah one's long and it takes a long time to do and it's hard to get the bike through and it's like a marathon and one is like you go through insane trails like the train in austria at the erzberg like you're going through this one section called carl's diner and it's a rock field it's a rock field that goes on for a mile long plus boulders you know why it's called that i do know the story but i just can't remember what it is that means you don't know i forgot i did know i forgot but he's gonna go back to romania nothing's getting past ev tonight this guy is dialed in lightning quick tonight mike are you are you jamie and today what do you what do you got for us uh i'm looking up why is the rock field section in red bull also is it carl's diner or dinner i've heard both and that's the thing i also don't know either like you i don't know either i i hear most guys say carl's diner so that's just what i say i'm not a facts guy here the iconic boulder section at the red bull erzberg rodeo is actually named carl's diner that's it is that's dinner with two ends a diner only oh yeah yeah carl's dinner well i mean i think is that how that works it is named after carl katach the founder and mastermind of the erzberg rodeo it's called carl's dinner because the grueling rock both though i've seen it spelled with one n and two n's feels like we'll just never know a punishing dinner served up by carl to break the riders can anyone enter that or do you have to like anybody can enter both of those races but you have to just like i mean you don't have to even finish them you can go i would say it costs some serious money i mean look at the logistics yeah yeah it does like explaining you're probably like ten thousand dollars plus to go race romaniacs because you got to rent the bike a flight alone is like a lot of money i mean it's like a lot of like five grand to get over there jesus and then international flights are expensive never been international yeah they're expensive and then you got to rent the bike you got to rent the mechanic to have it set up and then you got to have the take the time off work or whatever to the van to get down there you have to pay for hotels you got to pay for food like how much is entry honestly i don't know you know like if they take care of the hotels during the race i hope that your entry fee covers i don't know if they take care of the hotels during the race i hope that yeah i think it does i didn't do my entry they did it for me but that makes sense put your phone away during the podcast are you looking at bobby yeah you miss him that i don't know just guessed that's a good guess ben's looking at photos of bobby while we're listening to a cow dad now no no no what happened today on the hill did you wipe out you didn't notice just a little loopy this evening oh i'm the loopy one yeah well we know why evan's loopy i'm always loopy but you you're unregularly loopy we could well you can be dopey and then you're loopy or vice versa i think it would be a better switch all right we'll go with that yeah yeah we're cow dads now it's running for mayor yeah it's running for mayor david you know that actually no i didn't yeah uh well that would be this saturday this saturday is the voting for bobby's how do you feel about it going into it do you guys feel like you're gonna well you know when you're son ends up in politics it's always stressful so they switch the they switch the voting to be in person only which i honestly understand because if it was online we'd probably win every time well it just it was online last time and we didn't win bite into a stacked sandwich made with hero bread or a fully loaded bagel and the only thing you'll think is delicious

I don't know who's running, and you guys can probably feel me. Do you guys know who's running? Is it out? Bobby is. I'm just saying, I apologize now to the whole team, but if Waffles is running, she's got my vote. I still don't know what it is. Waffles is a guy. Well, voting. It's my vote. And honestly, you said that even before we got the cows. You said, like, if Waffles runs, she's got my vote. Waffles ain't running. I didn't recognize Waffles on the list. Would have been a good entry. Waffles is always around. Because I think he was going to, but he knows, like, GTA 6 is coming out later, and he's not. He's going to be busy with that. Yeah, we get work off for that? I think it'd be a crime not to take one day off. I think you'd have to start working to take work off, Ryan. That's a good point. Didn't think about that. Was it November? Is there an official date? Yeah, it's right after my birthday. Is it November? I thought it was. Is it November? No idea. November 19th, I think. I actually literally just. That's very specific to think. It's just, like, right after my birthday, so that's why. Yeah, no, I'm going to have to binge that probably for at least a week or so. Yeah, a weekend. Yeah. Seaboys make it to top a pack saddle on Amazon Dirt Bikes before GTA 6. Question mark. Honestly, the world may never know. Don't know. Do not jinx us or GTA 6. We cannot handle another eight-month delay. Could we make a place a bet, a friendly wager, on who makes it? Tomorrow? Yeah. Oh, I thought you were talking about through GTA 6. Ryan. Two 250s, a 230, and a 300? No, I don't think I'm a 250. The 230 doesn't exist. I was rev bombing it. It might have beat down to a 230. It might have poured out. I mean, there was rumors of a 230, but I didn't see one. So are all the little bikes 250s? Yeah, yeah, yeah. One big bike's a 250. All air-cooled except for the one. I was impressed. I was impressed with how Spendy's bike was performing today. Same. I'm going to fight for my life tomorrow. I'm going to fight to get to the top of that. I want to see Ryan at the top. I want to see everybody. Because, actually, do you know how insane that would be if we all made it on these bikes? It would be insane. I hope all the white guys at the top. It's mostly because of what happened last time we were here. We crashed out and quit. But then we got the clip of Slim and his mullet blowing in the wind. And you're like, all right, I'm better. No, that was the time. I have made it to the top. And then there was the one time that I didn't. And I didn't either. I've only been up there once. Yeah, we've only been there one time. You were up there. Ryan made it. We walked up there. No, Ben, he walked. Ryan walked. Well, yeah, maybe that's what I did. I don't know, but I did rage quit. The day he turned back was a different day. Oh. Well, I mean, right, Brian? I thought it was day one. What day was that, though? We made two runs. We came from one side and we went from the other side. There was still snow. So day one, it actually was day two because we showed up the day before. So day two, but first day of riding. Day one off road. So it wasn't the first day. Yeah. It wasn't. Dude, our first attempt at pack saddle, Ryan turned back frustrated. And we didn't make it. We turned back frustrated as well because there was snow. Farther up, yeah. Yeah. And then we took the other way and we all stood up there. all ride bikes up i climbed like the last mile yeah yeah plus that's a lot of climbing wow moto boots yeah it was that's a lot of climbing you did ride to like the last 100 yards yeah it was more like maybe for the sake of what we're doing here i just rage quit are you feeling inside you think you can hold it down are you gonna maybe let blow tomorrow blow a gasket mentally mentally coming in mentally i'm feeling strong but you can hold it we're running probably close to midnight now couple cores yeah you're like yesterday i thought we were doing it today so i was a i was a good boy yesterday and i was like i'm prepped i went to bed early i don't want to jinx myself because tomorrow we got the work ahead of us like i feel way better on a bike riding those trails than i ever have hands down so did i and it was awesome that stuff i've been i probably rode more in the last four years that we weren't here than i have in my entire life prior ripping so like i guess i'm tooting my own horn but i don't know if spenny was lying to me today but he was saying that i was looking pretty good on the bike a few different looking pretty good and so then i was it built i was impressed it built me up i didn't see you get off and push at all i did on the switchbacks i just on the way down i walked them around the one skinny rock that's just playing it safe yeah and there's nothing wrong with that when you got to go a downhill steep switchback to the right you're just a funny kid tonight spenny just let it be yeah spenny got the jokes the stories the days i think that if we successfully so what day are we on at gold creek no tomorrow will be day one because we haven't tried to go today was prelim yeah today was the prelims sorry yesterday and yesterday we can just throw away okay i'm cool with that uh well said i was gonna tell you but i'll just tell you tomorrow perfect something to have nightmares about tonight i'll tell you tomorrow oh spenny you wrote a uh supercross guy i was just gonna say i was like well i know one thing we could ask spenny to tell another story i can't maybe let's put some time yeah i'm probably not gonna leave i'm gonna leave that one out for the next one yeah because i just i don't know if you guys can handle another story yeah i mean i completely agree so right like i really want to tell you but i just i can't list i can't afford to sit here and tell you guys a story if it ends up like the last one i might rage quit if that happens again i almost want to see him try it just depends where he starts if he starts at like the track or he starts with the flight and breakfast and all the things before the end so staying at the holiday inn the shuttle bus from the airport was crazy all right so we're gonna go to the let's do this yeah we probably shouldn't i actually don't think you guys can handle it okay i'm gonna have to take a walk baby yeah but yeah i've been doing a lot of riding doing a lot of riding lately romaniacs to supercross to gold creek lodge oh don't forget about the cheap dirt bike challenge oh and like challenge a lot of riding do you feel like you're on the up and up how do you feel well because it was it honestly i'm gonna be honest i struggled going to romaniacs just knowing after what happened at the cheap dirt bike challenge i was struggling mentally when the guy chirped you said oh it's not as easy as youtube i know it but literally the two days before you'd struggled to yeah i was struggling mentally going into that i'll be honest dude i just had one of the worst days of my life so when you first picked up that 125 oh my god i was so stoked so excited yeah i was and by the end of the challenge you were making some excuses for the bike or because of the bike right underpowered basically yeah you said it was you said you hate 125s after that oh well i've always i've always hated 125 but you just said you were so stoked to get it but either way 125 how do you feel that it's like doesn't exist anymore i don't know that it doesn't oh fuck it was on instagram yeah you didn't hear yeah i got tagged in an instagram story but i was confused on what was going on she and i were like oh my god i'm so stoked to get it but either way unfortunately i mean we're not surprised what happened with it did it you know how did it get given away or something yeah at the end of that video we were like yeah i wanted it go and tag two friends in this instagram post that we popped up picture of and then we're gonna randomly pick one of the comments well there were 72 000 comments yeah insane apparently that might be the most comments on a post ever that's yeah i think it's rivaling like the egg that's insane that's a lot of people yeah but yeah they we give them the choice of any of the bikes minus brats because we gave his bike and they the kid picked yours but i call him right and so put it into like this random winner generator and the kid that they selected this third party i dm and he responds facetime me i call him and the kid is at this grad party with all of his buddies and he he goes he was like i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know freaking out and his buddy goes dude we just made a fake c boys account and sent him a dm or or chat gpt'd it and say like from the c boys account they chat gpt'd it and said congratulations you just won this dirt bike from our our last video like like his friends were just doing it to mess with him and then two minutes later what we called the kid and i dm'd him and was like yo which bike do you want yeah what are the odds of that wait so did did it blow up did the 125 blow up the post blew up you were the one riding it's been you should be telling us some kid we haven't given it to him it's also some kid it didn't blow some kid listen to this some kid sent me a instagram story and it was the 125 with the 100% sure it's the same bike and he was pushing the kickstarter down to the foot peg and there was no compression i'm not even kidding you the bike is in our garage yeah i'm not even kidding you currently did somebody ride it no it's currently sitting on i'll check the security cams right now but i'm pretty sure it's sitting on the it might have been it might have been the background guy did he take it you better not it was hitting i was some dude i'm not lying some kid tagged me in a video and it was covered in mud he was not lying some kid tagged me in a video and it was pushing the kickstarter down it's literally you can't see on that video it's on the shelf next to turkeys also yeah it was covered in mud so it's it just looked like it it's in our shop maybe it was ai video then could have been what are you not even lying some kid tagged me in an instagram story and it was the exact same bike that i rode with the american flag bar pad and he was pushing the kickstarter down what did he did was there any words there was no volume i didn't really look at just a random video no he was just he just hit some kid tagged me in a story i didn't know what it was no i just looked at it quick and swiped out yeah so uh yeah i don't know what that is but yeah i get a call from spenny the other day and he's freaking out and yeah i was freaking out for valid reasoning he goes bro i i'm in i'm uh in a huge predicament right now i go what's going on and he goes i just got a call from the kid that i bought the the one 25 from and he said that i gave him fake money he said the cash he's with the cops the sheriff's on the phone and he's standing with the sheriffs and it's fake money that he just tried to buy another bike with it what money that he was given was fake money did the guy buy it and like have a pen or something and check it no it says hollywood so get this all right so so i i go so i'm tweaking out right because this kid is like i'm with the cops right now they're saying that you fucked me i'm like yeah yeah yeah they're coming for you or whatever so i just go i tell as many i'm like oh dude i know exactly what happened give them my number i'll buff this out for you and just give me the kid's number so spenny texts me over his number and i call this kid and he's like i'm here with the cops right now they said or i went to go and buy a new dirt bike i proceeded to give money for the new dirt bike i leave kid finds out realizes that it's fake money calls the cops cops show up at my house man they take the dirt bike back oh and now i'm in like getting question i'm like 98 positive this is what happened so we have uh two of our merch guys will go and like pick stuff up for us if it's far and spenny's bike was a couple hours away so we send our two guys up mine brett's and spenny's bikes that we all bought kind of in the same town right so um i gave uh 7500 to our merch workers i said here's the first stack for brett's here's a second for mine here's for spenny's right well when they hopped in the truck to go down there they just threw the money in the center council well in that center council there was 50 000 of prop money When we are filming a video, video of like a win this raptor r or mustang or whatever we're giving away plus twenty thousand dollars or plus fifty thousand dollars we don't have fifty thousand dollars in real cash because we're driving around we're filming these videos and we're hopping in all these different vehicles like we would lose the fifty thousand dollars which we did we lost we lost the prop cash it It was not the fake money. The fake money was sitting in our work GMC truck for probably the last six months. I mean, it's not bundled up. It's not landed. It's all over. But also, yeah, I mean, like, we just, you can't just run around with 50K, you know? Yeah. That's a lot of money. That's irresponsible. Yeah. Clearly, we lost the prop cash, right? So the cash was just sitting in, like, probably the bottom of the center council in our work truck that we had sent our merch guys down to go pick these bikes up. Well, they're probably not expecting fake money to just be laying around in a vehicle. Most people don't just carry fake money around with them. And they opened it up, grabbed some cash out, bought the bike, and then went on with their day. Well, this kid that sold the bike to them went and bought another one. My God. Then they find out that it's fake money. And then this kid's calling me, freaking out. So I explain that story to him. And I go, dude, this sounds crazy, but we do these giveaways. We had, like, the fake money. So he wasn't a. No, he was a fan. He was a fan. But he was like. Because he was like, dude, like, how did this happen? How could you possibly have fucked you? Well, he was, like, with the cops. And he's like, dude, he's like, the cops are telling me that you guys are crooks and that I shouldn't believe you guys and that this is fake money. But I watched your guys' videos. Like, I just can't believe them. Like, what happened? Like, did you guys give me. Did you guys give me fake money? Like, I just want to know the truth. And I'm like, uh. Dude, that sucks. Honestly, I need you to talk to Ben because, like, I just can't. Like, I don't know. Like, I honestly. I didn't buy the bike, so I don't actually know. Like, I wasn't there. You didn't. You. So at that point, you weren't putting two and two together because. No, I was. I was. But I didn't want to, like, make up a story and say it with the cops there. And be like, yeah, we have fake money. Like, this is. Yeah. And then they're like, see, I told you they had fake money. Because, dude, I. Yeah. I was driving the GMC, and I saw one of the stacks from what should have been used to buy one of the bikes. It's Benny's bike. Yeah, I saw that, too. And I see, like, the random. All the fake cash. And I just go, huh. It'd be kind of easy to mix up. Don't think anything of it. And that was after the fact. After the fact, yeah. But Ben calls me and he goes, you're not going to believe this. And as soon as he says fake money, I'm like, I know exactly what happened. I can't remember what was going on. Maybe I was with Dalton, but we're around the shop. And. You were on the phone. Maybe frantic would be an exaggeration, but you were on the phone and, like, getting in your own space. And I was kind of like, whoa, what's going on? He's like, apparently they bought Benny's bike with fake money. He's on the phone with the sheriff. What? Oh, God. Yeah, so I called this kid. That's a tough one to buff out. Yeah. Like, that could end up not good. Oh, yeah. Not good at all, right? So that's kind of why I was trying to move quickly. Yeah, and that's why you could see I would be stressing out. Yeah, like, oh, I call the kid. I explain it. I talk to him, and he was like, dude, I watched the videos. I know. And he was like, I also know that you guys aren't. Yeah, trying to scam. You're not trying to scam somebody out of $2,500. And I told him that, too. I was like, buddy, look, we got 5 million subscribers here. The last thing we're trying to do is scam one of them out of $2,500 to ruin our reputation. Pretty crazy. I was like, this is the last thing that we'd be doing. Pretty crazy that the cops were sitting there saying, these guys are crooks. They gave you. They gave you fake money. Well, okay. From their perspective, we did. So I called the cop. So I called the cop. Or the cop calls me then, because I explained it to the kid. And he's like, oh, dude, I know. I believe you. And I could see how that would happen. He was like, let me just give your number to the cop. The cop calls me. Look, we have a YouTube channel. The last thing we're doing is trying to freaking scam one of our subscribers out of $2,500. I told him the giveaway thing. And he's like, oh, yeah, that makes sense. And he was just like, all right, well, I mean, as long as, like. Like, the rest of the money is, like, accounted for that you guys, you know, gave him. And then if you just, you know, square up with him. I was like, dude, I already Venmo'd him the $2,500. Yeah, like. It's not a problem. He was tweaking. Yeah, he was tweaking. He was like, am I going to get paid? Am I going to get paid, bro? Like, this is literally, like, all the money I had. I'm about to leave for college. And I was like, bro, I Venmo you right as we get off this phone call. And he was like, oh, dude, thank God. I thought that money was gone. Dude, I'm just so. I was so stoked the cop was picking up what you were putting down. Because, like, anything, like, he. You could have got somebody different or woke up on the wrong side of the bed that day. And they're just like, nah, man. I don't know what the charges are for, like, counterfeit, but it's probably not ideal. No, it's not good. It's not what you want to be down. Yeah, it's not ideal. But, okay, so when you look at the money, though, it, like, very clearly says motion picture on it. That's what it says, yeah, yeah. So it's not, like, counterfeit money where. It's not supposed to make it look real, right? It's actual, just fake money. Yeah, it's just fake money. It's not. It's just meant to look real. It's not actually. It actually kind of doesn't even feel real. Feel the real. No, it's, like, thick. It's, like, thicker, and it is, like. Yeah, it feels weird. I wonder if the merch kids have been thinking that we just roll around with 50K cash minimum in the center console of our pickup for, like, literally the last six, seven, eight months. Like, man, these guys are dumb. Well, honestly, I would. Okay, right here. Why do you just have this? I don't know, dude. It was in my bag. Well, Mike, don't. Dude. Dude. Maybe don't. Wait, this one's actually. We need to make sure that we don't lose all this money, because somebody's going to find this in the couch and not look at it, and then try and spend it somewhere. No, it's fair. We'll pick it up. We'll pick it up. Yeah, I mean, like, it's a blue face. It's a blue face. Yeah, here, look at this. All right. For motion picture purposes. This is not a legal tender. And then on the back. Yeah, but I had a comment. Yeah, it looks real. It does look real. But it doesn't feel real, and the coloring is way different. And what the hell is this? Poop dollar! Have you been poop coloring? Why is that so brown? Yeah, that was pretty crazy. Crazy. Crazy. Yeah. Glad it buffed. Glad it buffed, too, because I was nervous, too. I was like, I'm on the hook for this. I would just say it sucks so much when you make an honest mistake, and then you could get, like, it just. There's no real repercussions for it. Yeah, exactly. Where it's just like, dude, it seems hard to believe, but it was, like, the most honest mistake. So did Buddy get his bike that he bought, and then they took it back? Yeah, how'd that work? I don't know. I mean, I gave him. Gave him the money, and then he probably went and got the money. Yeah, went and got it back, but. Yeah. And then I told our merch worker about it, and he. I was telling him. I bet he was. He was actually giving me a ride to a Wii Fest, and he was like, hey, how'd that ever buff out? Because I called him, and I was like. I was like, could this have happened? I was like. Just to basically just be like, all right, I asked. I was like, you didn't, like, purposely do that, or, like, take the money, and then you were like, oh, I grabbed that sack of cash, right? Because, you know. Well, I seen it in there, too, because I drove the truck, and I, like, looked, and I was like, huh, they must have used some other cash to buy my bike. I can't. Okay, see, I did the same thing. Yeah. I seen it in there, and I was like, huh. You said that to me. Yeah, I was. And so, like, when the cop was telling me, I was like, oh, they used the fake money. I was like, oh, God damn it. This isn't good. I was like, this is not good. They used the fake money. I know. I knew in my head, but I didn't want to say that we had fake money. Yeah, even saying that out loud. Because, like, if I'm like, yeah, oh, yeah, we got fake money at the shop, the cop's going to be like, why do you have fake money at the shop? Well, to be fair, in most situations, why would you? Yeah. Why would you? Unless you're just a flex offender. Yeah. Unless you're a rapper. Jake. Is that true? Or Jake at a big Reno concert. Yeah. That is a good story. But, yeah, I'm happy that one buffed out, because I was stressing. Yeah, me too. Stressing hard. We probably better get to bed. Yeah. Yeah. But the time is, holy. We got a nice day tomorrow. Day one tomorrow, boys. Day one tomorrow, baby. Day one off. Day one a pack saddle, but day three of the trip. We'll get into it next pod. Yeah. Yeah, we'll see how it goes. All right. Man, I'm nervous. You made it to this point. Thank you. Honestly, it's going to be impressive if they get to bed. They made it through that midsection, because that was some tough behavior. Yeah, it'll be impressive if they made it through day one. But subscribe if you made it to this point. We make podcasts every Tuesday and YouTube videos every Thursday. We'll see you next week. Thanks, Cold Creek. Thank you.

The conversation ends with anticipation for riding Pack Saddle the next day, marking it as "day one" of their own adventure.
