One of the 4 Runners was having heat issues. The engine was probably having trouble too as it just didn't have any grunt at all. 15 deg climbs couldn't be scaled without a running start. We ended up doing a lot of winching up long hills. On loose surface, it was a nightmare. After a few failed attempts, we towed. We expected to arrive at Arrowhead Village at 7:30, but didn't get there until 9:15 or so. A lot of recovery happened in the dark-and cold. I used my winch 4 times yesterday. Temps were in the high 30s and we were getting really hungry... I didn't get any pictures as my battery wasn't working due to the cold. I was definitely not dressed appropriately nor was I prepared for the long night. Should've have more clothing, more food, water, and extras for everyone. I hope no one caught a cold.
