Keep in mind that the top of the cab is usually at about 6'8" when the truck is sitting on level ground, so that gives you an idea of how deep it dug in.

Mark, would you mind waxing my roof while you are there? It's usually pretty hard to reach.

Amazing, those pictures of ROB stuck really speak for themselves.

Still cannot believe you managed to snapp your winch line, being synthetic, three times.

Once again, you guys really do great runs, and great threads.

They do wear out and that one had a pretty good life. I got a couple of years out of it, so I am not unhappy. My new Amsteel Blue winch line is sitting here in my office as I type I will spooling it on tonight.

So Rob, the next run is on a Monday, right?


Here's a few pics off my video camera, hopefully I'll be able to cap some footage tomorrow.

Another angle of Rob stuck, thanks for not ducking Mike.

Not sure what Mark was doing here...

Rob's not-quite-so-big-rock. Next time we'll have to hit this spot again (before it's pitch black!) and try the BIG rock that's about 20' away.

And...

In fact, I propose that those pictures are doctored with the intent of creating a situation where ridicule may be wrought with distress and dispare towards the plight of the African swallow even though that we know they only turn blue in Philidelphia once it stops raining as the flowers bloom in Atlanta."

And that will be my final statement on how much of a dorky goofball I can be at times. (until other pictures surface that I need to defend myself against - gawd, I hope those don't show up!)

I'm getting a distinct vision of the male version of "The Price is Right" girl gone horribly wrong. "Our next item up for bid i...."

Sure am glad I worked late and missed all that fun.

I'm sorry, African swallows are not migratory.

Keep in mind we were probably up around 3000-4000 ft. of elevation. Find a mountain in your area with that height and you just might find some snow.
