The recovery is 90 percent of the fun most of the time.... no one wants to hear stories of fire road/ trail completions without carnage being involved or the possibility of.

Pretty fun night. Shorts, snow angels, and good times.

Big shout out to Jeff with Colorado Rock Hoppers. Hell of a way to start off the week. Great rock crawling on Sunday, snow bashing on Monday night.

@Oreo Cat, thank you for stepping up and helping out. This would not have happened without your help. Much respect, and thanks for serving our awesome country.

@Bebop, your wife kicks ass! After the Yamaha was freed, she never needed the rope or strap again. She isn’t afraid of that throttle!!! Thanks for coming back out and finding me. Goggles are going into the Jeep tomorrow. I didn’t realize how much mud was on my face until I was home. Lol. Your friend was pretty adamant about not going back out. After his story, don’t blame him. Weather can get nasty very quickly, and didn’t realize this was such an ordeal. You guys hiked a long way in a blizzard.

Not a bad recovery. Pretty sure the Yamaha was more effort to get out.

We came up to the Tacoma first. First had to clear a path so we would be able to pass.

Once that was done, getting the Yamaha spun around and out from the deep snow was a little bit of work. Using the winch and a few tugs with the strap got it in the right direction. We would sink in the snow past our knees. The two guys with shorts on loved that!!!

Next up was spinning the Tacoma 180 degrees on a relatively narrow trail. Hooking the winch line up to the rear hitch, some 2wd action spun it around.

Jeff and the Tacoma got stuck a few times, but nothing a strap couldn’t cure.

On the way out, I was tail gunning and had some mud and dirt get flung up and right into my eye. So I stopped and cleaned out the dirt from my eye. Suddenly, I was by myself for a bit, not knowing the route back. I stood on my roof, and was able to get a little cell service. Nick knew where I was, and drove back out to guild me back to the trucks and trailers.

Back in my safe space....

Wow, reading this from start to finish was quite the riveting story! Glad everyone got out safe

Sorry I had to leave a little early. Had to get a little sleep before PT and it paid off. I’m finally done after being at work for 34 hours looking for a missing person and M4

This Jeep with a V8 was badass and definitely one of the funnest cars I’ve ever been in

Sorry I couldn’t get better pictures. iPhone camera in the dark isn’t the best.

Kinda want a Jeep now not going to lie..

Missing person and M4 any chance it was a 2LT those guys always seem to get lost out in the field.

Heard about that on the news. First thought was, “Somebod probably failed night land nav.” Second thought was, “Haha! Next come the extra safety briefings and stupid stuff. And everyone’s gonna know it was because of you. Sucks to be you!”

How one manages to get lost for that long in open plains is beyond me. There’s always one retard
