    Update:

    Successful recovery. Took about 4 hours. More to come later but l'll leave you with this picture out my driver window as a teaser.

    Meeting at the Lowe's at Durango and 95 tomorrow morning. Meet at 9:30, roll out at 9:45. Anyone is welcome!


    Hey guys,

    Went wheeling with a buddy near wheeler's pass near Vegas and one of the trails we were on got very difficult and we couldn't turn around and got stuck. It's about 5 miles from the entrance to the area.

    The trail was pretty rugged and sliders are a must. Anyone willing to help recover it please send me a Pm! Pizza and beer are on me forevermore if y'll help!

    Details:

    If able I'll like to go out with whoever is willing tomorrow and recover. I can guide y'll there! I'm safe for the night as well

    Willow creek straight down the hill
    Left turn before the u turn and the creek
    Right on 25783
    Right on 25780
    Turn left on 25782
    Stuck on 25782

    I had two straps, shovel and hi lift

    It was really slippery rock and I just sunk in near the edge of a drop off and had nothing to strap against.

    Additionally, I was sitting on the gas tank for a bit and it was leaking out so may need a few gallons of gas as well. Rough day.

    And if you can describe where you went. Ie, once you crossed the stream and started the steady climb up the rocky road, did you take the first right or continue straight and take the 2nd right or continue climbing the hill till it turned into straight loose rock and went along the hill side? I think I have an idea but any little bit can help.
