Orange Torpedo Trips' General Manager, Erik ("N.G.") snapped this shot of himself with OTT guide Aaron Lieberman and their fellow Nepalese guides from atop--what can most generously be called--a mechanically suspect Jeep just minutes after pulling away from the takeout for the Sun Kosi River in Nepal. While their adventure down the world-class Sun Kosi River was, by all accounts, the trip of a lifetime, the moment captured here marks the beginning of what would prove a whole different kind of adventure, which N.G. thus summarized:
"During our almost 2 hour ride on top of our gear....on top of a Jeep that we had to weld back together along the way...on some backwoods road leading from the river to the bus we would then catch for a 15 hour ride.
So we pulled out the stereo, rocked out, and waited for what seemed like the imminent vehicle rollover, which thankfully never came."
