A group of us headed up to Paraparaumu to do some quadbiking. The day would end tragically, but it would be the funnest thing I do in my whole time in Wellington. It had poured rain the day before and during a break in the weather today we had an awesome ride through the forests, hills, rivers, and roads. We weren&#8217;t stuck in mud nearly as much as the pictures show. It&#8217;s just he only time I could get the camera out while we took turns going through the deep spots. During my turn through this part of the trip I got stuck and tried to unlodge my bike. As I was doing this my camera flipped out of my front pocket and it plopped itself into the mud. I jumped off the bike and eventually found it stuck under the wheel. I pounced on it and quickly pulled the memory card out of it. Hopefully I had saved the card from any damage, but I wouldn&#8217;t find out until I could check it later. Two years and thousands of photos later, here&#8217;s the last photo my camera ever took. Mud&#8217;s a bitch. So long New Zealand, eater of cameras.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear:both; padding-bottom: 0.25em;\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><center>[<a href=\"http:\/\/www.chasethelight.com\/quadbiking.html\">QUADBIKING GALLERY<\/a>]<\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[27,9,16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-179","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-friends","category-life","category-photography"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1MOCs-2T","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chasethelight.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/179","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chasethelight.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chasethelight.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chasethelight.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chasethelight.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=179"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/chasethelight.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/179\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chasethelight.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=179"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chasethelight.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=179"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chasethelight.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=179"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
