Wow. sounds like a pretty epic recovery. Great work!
I got a few shots on Sunday. Had a great time!
We, the North group, ran 327 to the end, then came back and took 323 to find the rest of the group for lunch. Way down in, past and down below from where 323 turns right and the road turns left and becomes 324, we came across a guy waving us down and we took him to his party about a half mile up a two track where they were stuck. He said that he missed waving down an earlier group (probably Molter and team) by a small margin. Sorry, guys, we got all the glory. We did an epic extraction on a Dodge/Cummins 2500 that was securely lodged on two logs that were jammed under the axle, plus he was on the edge of the drop off of the road. He had chained his front and rear bumpers to trees to secure his truck on the edge. There were two guys, a lady, and 9 month old, and they were in a deep jam, miles from nowhere looking at a long cold walk out. Internet speed is crawling tonight, so I'll go in to work early tomorrow and post up photos and a video. We had two Warn 8274's with 100' plus of cable out, both snatch blocked to his bumpers. We dislodged the first two anchor trees and had to move the lines up the hill to a couple of monster trees. After getting him off the logs and onto the road, we strapped to the logs, dislodged them, and rolled them off the road. He was able to drive out. We didn't even have lunch; we checked on vehicles along the main road then turned in our stuff to the F.S. and went to the W.P McDonalds and ate and aired up. All in all, a very fine day, with the satisfaction of doing a major good deed.
The problem. The rear is stuck up on two logs and we can't pull him forward without him running up the log and slipping down the bank.
The solution. A winch cable maze.
Satisfied customers.
I will attach a video of the winching if someone tells me how.
