Stuck.. Cross Lanes, WV - Need Help

Pardon me but that really is not a very fair assessment. The last time he got stuck a few weeks ago, a lot of people were offering to drive a few hours to help him. A member here actually was able to get out there and help him.

People were saying THEN that he should be more prepared equipment-wise and not to go alone. But again he got himself into a predicament without being prepared as well as going alone.

 

I have a 2010 TRD Sport DCLB, although a 4x4, no lockers. This fall I was vacationing around the Shenandoah National Park in Virginia and asked a local where to find some easy to moderate 4 wheeling, he obliged and off I went. It was just the wife and I and the access road was the easy part, when we got to the point that the trail obviously took a more difficult attitude we decided to progress slow and cautiously. Knowing that I do not have a winch or lockers, the possibility of getting stuck up in the mountains far away from any help, we decided to turn and head down the mountain.

My point is you have to take a realistic assessment of your situation and make good decisions especially when wheeling alone. Things can turn very bad in no time at all, it's just not worth it.

This is not a judgment on the OP, consider it a public service announcement. Wheeling is a great pastime and none of us want to hear of folks getting hurt or worse. Have fun but think safety first.

 

Anyone care to sum up the thread thus far? I havent been watching it closely...

 

OP gets stuck in a ditch, walks to town, gets a come along and gets out of the ditch. Scouts around for another way out, finds someplace that looks doable. After 2 tries he gets up to the top to find some rednecks partying with chics and beer. Has a few beers, and heads home.

Now he's stuck in his driveway and can't find his wheel chocks. Me thinks he had too much beer and chocked his wheels upon arrival at home and now can't find them cuz he's high on the meth he picked up from his lab out in the boonies.

 

LMAO yep thats it in a nut shell

 

EPIC summary!

 

After studying that pic of the "hill" that the op has become one with for a week now. I was able to determine the actual angle of said hill of doom to be approximately six degrees and no real threat. The wife said she would go up there herself in her Ford Focus and get him home for the holidays. I asked if she wanted to take my truck but she said that would not be necessary. This is going to be VERY embarrassing for him to say the least.....

 

what happened? did he get saved? again?

 

He's out...

 

Redneck women in the middle of the woods of WV...and you guys want to see pictures of them?

 

my son said he will pull him out with his bicycle

 

He just switched to Geico!

That's fucking disturbing.

 

wow this thread is still going...

 

LOL! Just finally followed up on this! Epic! I'd leave those scratches dings etc - that's a fuggin badge of honor now, and when people ask, they are gonna get themselves some kinda story! LOL

Glad you got out.

 

I had one beer, the chicks didn't look anything like that (more like 18 year old redneck girls) and the hill in question is fucking stupid. I wish you all could see it in person, it sucked.

Think, so steep that when I put on my e brake while going down it I slid, and wouldn't stop sliding until I hit the brakes myself.

 

OH MY FUCKING GOD. I just lol'd so hard.

 

lets get in a gay pile and stop the future.. they took our jerbs

 

I live in Dunbar and found this tread looking for people near me that might wanna go wheeling one day. WHERE THE HELL IS THIS HILL IN CROSS LANES... I wanna give it a try! I have been in theses forums since I bought my 2005 reading, wanting to mod... biding my time.. now I wanna do do do.. I can't believe what I have read these Tacomas will do.
