I've gotten motion sickness a lot of times throughout my life and everytime I felt better almost instantly after the motion stopped. Sounds a lot more like altitude sickness to me but I'm no expert. Either way good call descending, maybe you'll have a chance to get back when you have a little more time to give it a serious shot.
I'm sure the altitude didn't help things. Because we were riding and then hiking in the dark, there was no stable reference and that's likely why it didn't go away.

Sounds like...a fun adventure! Sometimes they just don't work out. But it makes for a good story.

Re: Sounds like...Thanks--it was very frustrating but at least we did get a good hike out of it.

Too badToo bad the drive beat you up. I had a similar problem in Peru bounching around in a smelly dusty vehicle.
