Cruisin along on a trail outside Idaho Springs and I pass the Winter Mantianece point. By myself, with 2 gallons of gas, a shovel, and my air guage, I think, this shouldn't be too bad.

I get about a mile past the no grooming section, and all of a sudden, the truck starts going towards this drop-off. The snow is about 2 feet deep on one side of the road, and I'm stuck. I guess the ditch is magnetic or something

I spent about an hour shoveling, having no luck, when along comes ANOTHER TACOMA! I was so happy! He's like..."looks like you are stuck.."

Gives me a push, and I'm free. We chitchat a bit, and come to find out, he browses YotaTech and TTORA once and awhile. Just wanted to say it again, THANKS ROB, good man.

I learned that even if the trail is easy looking, always bring atleast another person, if not another rig.

If you’re going wheeling alone, and this is from personal experience take the proper gear with you! I take at the minimum, my cell phone, CB, tow strap, shovel, and at least a manual "come along" winch. You never know when you would need it. I actually got stuck a few weeks ago and didn’t have the damn thing with me! I could have hooked up to my front tow hook and around a tree and got myself out of the trench. I got stuck way out turning around. I didn’t have my hubs locked "the only negative to manuals" because the trail was clear. WELL when I turned around I dropped off the edge into a trench, then by the time I locked my hubs it was to late, my front wheels were on solid wet ice. I sat still to the point in 4H in drive my wheels were turning while the truck was idling! Anyway glad you made it out!!
