My wife and I set out across a vast wasteland of sandy desert and just headed for some mountains and canyons (峡谷) two miles away. There were no 1 in the desert and we had no destination in mind. After about 4-5 miles, 2 in the canyons, we sat down for lunch. We thought we heard our 3 echoing (回音) down through the canyon, but the distant echoes didn't 4.
After a few minutes, high on the canyon wall we heard someone else 5 clearly in the distance. So I 6 a little up and saw a man shouting to us. He seemed 7.
We continued to climb up a few hundred 8 to where he was. He was a retired policeman from California. He and his wife were 9an ATV (全地形车) for miles across the mountains just like we were doing. He 10 down into our canyon on a steep slope (斜坡) that no ATV should have been on.
His wife, recognizing the danger, 11 got off just before he drove it over a small ledge and 12 it in a tree. The car had its 13several feet off the ground, hanging in a bush. He was 14 and only his pride was wounded.
Together we 15 a risky and complex plan to saw (锯), tie and land his ATV into some logs that would stop it from 16 off the next bigger ledge. Then we built a road back up the ledge. The 17 took a couple of hours.
He didn't know 18 where he was, but he would follow his tracks back to his truck. They were so relieved that we had 19 them from walking out of the desert. They just wanted to 20 and talk a while over lunch before heading home.
