OK, First of all Hypsie Gap is open to winter travel.
They have Posted NO WINTER MAINTENCE.
So This is -legal- Offroading.
With that said I decided to take a shot at it. Negative 2 degrees and Winds 30-40 mph.
Snow drifts to near 4 feet.
Long story short -I never stood a chance.
As fas as I could get. Tried to back up and it sank like the Titanic.
High centered.. Not looking good, nothing to winch off of.
Hate to do it, GOTTA CALL for help.
Not a oasis, It help on the way ( about 3 hrs after I first got stuck.)
Thats Mr. Help aka Bruce.
ok so the recovery vehicle takes a few tugs and even being frozen in 4hi he still manages to get me out.
BUT right behind him is a big ditch ( hidden by a drift).
And with me on semi firm ground its my turn to pull him out. He remains in the ditch after 4-5 tugs but with his foot to the floor and the both of us sliding toward solid ground were almost out.
ok were out.
Untill next time Kidz..........
