Ya…. I got stucker than fuck on Saturday night! Emilee and I were climbing at the Price Canyon Rec area. We decided to camp up by soldier summit since it was on the way home. We got up on the ridge and everything was easy peasy and dry. Then we hit some really muddy and snowy early season stuff. Up at about 9000 ft. I got sucked into the ditch on one side of the road. I could go up and down for a ways but so matter how hard I turned I couldn’t get out. Tried to dig a channel for my tires to use but no luck. No one passed us for 4 hrs. So luckily I had a bit of advice and made a distress call to KB haha you know I’m already getting a lot of shit for this;) haha! He came up and towed me straight sideways and off the toad. Luckily we were only about 1.5 hrs from his place. I already ordered traction boards and a come along for whatever comes next haha. Glad Emilee was there. She made me calm down when I was pissed off. All in all a good fun adventure. I think KB was psyched to get in on the recovery too.
We didn’t seen anybody that whole day and night up there. We saw someone pass up the next morning at about 830 when we camped. Wouldn’t been a long night if I hadn’t had service… so lucky us.here is some other pics from before and after the recovery.
Cant believe you haven’t stuck a ring on that girls finger Cole!!!! She’s cute, puts up with you and you’ve already got a practice child you’re raising together!!!
Now THATS how you stir up the pot on a Monday!!!!! I was thinking the same thing Rusty.
Better get it done before she catche on that this behavior is your normal 🤣🤣🤣
Hahah Emilee and I get along quite well. I am very lucky that she puts up with my antics. We are happy. I think she knows what she’s gotten into by now;) hahaha! We have been stuck/ stranded on more than one occasion… haha
this weekend we went out climbing near Hanksville Utah! In the Henry Mountains. I had never been! Always just driven past. What a spectacular place! You’re in the hot ass red rock desert and you climb up to about 8000 feet and it just gets more lush and beautiful as you go! Supposedly there is a herd of bison up there. We didn’t see them. But that would be cool one day. Supposedly one of the only free roaming herds left in North America. Look up the Henry mountains. They are pretty cool. They were the last mountain range to be charted and added to maps in the lower 48. So you know it’s out there! Chances of seeing anyone are LOW!
we left Friday mid day. Cruise was awesome. Great weather. Went to go pull into hanksville and NO BRAKES! Ahhhh. First time I’ve fully lost brakes. Down shift and e brake got us into the gas station. My rear driver side wheel cylinder was toast. After talking to Franz yesterday I think my shoes were worn out and the pistons popped out. But I’ll know better when I pull it apart. I ordered up parts yesterday. I didn’t have an extra wheel cylinder(don’t worry, I ordered extras haha). So what to do…. not letting this screw my weekend after I had already driven 4 hrs! I thought about just buying all 8 bottles of brake fluid in the gas station and just re filling. But wasn’t sure if that would even last or if it would just squeeze it out instantly. So I thought about blocking off that bad wheel cylinder somehow. So I ended up coming up with pulling that wheels brake line out of the rear T. Then I plugged it with a 10mm bolt and some blue loctite. Worked like a charm! 3/4 brakes was so much better than 0… haha In about 45 min we were back on the road!!
the fix worked great all weekend! And Im I glad it did. This spot, road up there and the climbing were all spectacular! And best part. NO ONE ELSE ALL WEEKEND! I think we will head back this weekend if anyone is interested. I fell on the last move of this boulder problem I was trying… need to go back and finish it off!
