I posted this info yesterday under another thread, but I think it bears repeating.
A good friend of mine went four wheeling, by himself, Mon nite. He became stuck in a large mudhole and called another buddy to come pull him out. While he was waiting, he kept the engine idling and turned on the a/c because of the mosquitos where so bad. Apparently there was an exhaust leak into the cab of the truck causing him suffocate from carbon monoxide poisoning. Whe the other guys showed up, they couldn't wake him, so the towed the truck out to the road and began cpr, to no avail. This guy was no dumbass, he was a college graduate, an army veteran and a 14 year veteran at our local police dept. He left a wife and three young kids. This was a huge loss to us here, and unfortunatley I believe this could have been prevented.
1. Never go four wheeling by yourself.
2. Never go four wheeling by yourself at night, on a trail you're not familiar with.
3. Never sit in a truck idling for long periods without venting a window.
We'll miss you Hugh :'(
