This was just comical. It is the second time I have gotten the 80 really stuck right on the side of a road. Never on a trail (knock on wood).
First time I was in Georgia and pulled onto the side of the road to text. Pulled forward through what I thought was 6" of mud. Truck sunk right in to the sliders. I think there was a broken underground pipe or something. That time I winches out on a roadside tree. So I dont know if it counts as stuck.
This time was even more stupid. Driving a popular Forrest road with 1" of snow on it. Pulled to the right and stopped to look at the map. When i went forward i ever so slightly slid the front wheel into the ditch at 1mph. I didnt really take It seriously so I just motored forward. It just got worst from there. Both passenger side wheels now in the drainage ditch in 2 feet of snow. Locked all up, rocked back and forth, just sunk the rear in up to the tail lights.
A truck came along and tried to pull me out and could not get any traction. We only tried a few min of this. I had him back up and just winched myself out off of him. There was not really a good winch point around other than his truck. So it would have been tricky to get myself out without him. I probably could have found something. I always do. It was comical and very embarrassing. But if laughing at me makes your day better, enjoy!
I don't know how I get a triple locked 80 stuck twice right on the side of the road. I think part of it is these simple times you don't really put any thought into what I am doing. When on a trail I really analyze every aspect of the trail condition.
