Had a great time at todays event, thanks Austin for organizing it! Also thanks again to those who stayed with me when my tire blew out on the way back down and followed me a portion of the way back home 
We used the liquid in the trunk to fill up the tire and air it back up, thinking it would only get me back down to be able to get service and call Rivian for help (since it was the sidewall that was punctured and the liquid typically is no good for sidewall punctures). Well I got down to the trailhead and still had no reception to call Rivian but after driving very carefully some miles ahead, finally got through to Rivian. They weren't able to find anyone to help me until Monday so I took the risk and drove 60 miles up the I-5 back home and made it safely (having to pull over a few times to air back up, as i was very slowly losing tire pressure).
Also got lucky it was traffic all the way up so I didn't have to annoy folks driving slow in the lane. Made it home in time for dinner and even stopped by to get a car wash on the way ?
Rivian is coming to replace my tire Monday morning and luckily no other damage except for the tire. Can't wait to do it all over again, but I think I need to invest in some off-road tires/wheels. Cheers! - Dennis
