Episode Description

In 1993, French engineer Émile Leray’s Citroën 2CV broke down in the middle of the Moroccan desert. Stranded without any way to call for help, he dismantled the vehicle and rebuilt it into a working motorcycle. For twelve days and nights he lived in the stripped shell of the car  and ate what rations he had while piecing the machine together- to attempt to ride it back to civilization and save himself.

Thank you, everyone, for the love you have shown us and Marooned over the past two years. We really appreciate it. - Aaron & Jack
