The latest @ Jim Creek

I took more video this time instead of pics so the photo coverage is a little sparse. We left the parking lot at about 1030 and it only took about 2 hours to the Glacier. At the Glacier the other two rigs dropped tires into a moraine pond. The small Ford blew a front axle. So we called the trip and hiked out across the lake to the face of the glacier and tolled around. The headed back out. The little Ford stuck it in a drift for about an hour. The big Ford stuck it trying to pull the little one out. I broke a few straps attempting to yank him out. Ripped off the little ones front bumper with a chain, Hee Hee Hee!!! We then got out a little after dark. Good trip all in all. I found that I need to rework my shock mounts and fix my door. It was an enjoyable trip and I will be going back this next Friday or Saturday.

Knock Knock...

As we're laying lazily in our bed watching a movie...
L: It's probably UPS
R checks to see UPS guy walking away
Seconds later we hear tires spinning in the driveway
L: He's stuck
R gets up and starts putting on his cold weather gear
L goes to the door just as UPS guy with green fuzzy hat and elf ears is smiling
UPS guy: Hey, I'm stuck! This is the 1st time this has ever happened to me and I even have my chains on...
L: My husband's getting ready to come out
I do have to say he was pretty cheerful for the situation he was in. I should call UPS and tell them to give him a raise for staying positive.
But R was really bummed that the big truck is down a driveline cuz that would have been lots of fun for him pulling out the UPS guy with the bogger. Next time! Cuz I'm expecting a couple UPS packages and we're expecting 16 more inches of this crazy white fluff.
