The "roads" are narrow up that way and of course were slick... Some have a little bit of a downslope. One started to pull me down towards the embankment, so I backed up and tried to ride the inner embankment with the sides of my tires. That resulted the TB ending up with it's side in the snowbank.
When I climbed out my driver side window I ended up like this. (Shameless pic of my crotch)
My buddy Chris thought he'd give me a tug backwards. Right. Here's a pic of the truck I took as I got the winch hooked up to a tree.
Then it started to snow... again.
The snow let up and I pulled off and let the boy play a bit.
More snow pics.
Note my buddy in the last pic... who has somehow managed to get stuck behind me in the turn off. That resulted in this:
... so that I could get enough room to turn around in the space we were in.
More snow.
On our way out, we passed a couple (of many) trucks coming the opposite way. The guy in back was obviously not a snow driver... as he was all over the place. I opted to give him a wide berth and once again ended up in the ditch. I drove along in the ditch looking for a place to get out for a couple hundred feer until the angle started to get a little interesting.
Yep, another winching. That's three.
Fourth winch usage of the day happened when a snowmobile tried to pass us on the outside and tipped over. He came close to rolling a few times. I fixed it.
Saw a few other people do some crazy stuff that I didn't have the camera out for... including an "extraction" that probably should have cost some fingers.
Here's us on the way down, following a VERY timid H3.
There were 4 other trucks lined up behind me... it was pretty funny.
Back on pavement and headed down.
I had fun getting stuck. The winch paid for itself today... and I want my front locker even more now. Although most of the situations I got myself into today it wouldn't have helped with. No body damage.
Good to hear it works well. Sigh another toy I have to look into.
