[.How many guys does it take to pull a truck out of the snow?.]

Apparently it takes 6!

For Memorial day Lance and I went with Doug and Britt (and her family) to Cub River to go four wheeling!  We had tons of fun!  As we were going along a trail there were 3 big snowbanks [that we could see] we had to get through.  The guys went through them first to make a trail to get us ladies through safely!  Well we ended up going through the 3 snowbanks and shortly after found ourselves at a "dead end".  There was a truck stuck in the monster of a snowbank so Britt's dad (Niles)[1], Doug[2] and Lance[3] immediately went to help these two idiots men boys [4 & 5].  Niles got on the four wheeler, plowed through the snow around the truck, took the winch, attached it to the truck and tried pulling..  Nothing happened.  Great!  We knew this was gonna take forever!  So the girls sat on the four wheelers and ate teddy grahams! haha, what help we were! A bit later a family filled jeep pulled up behind us (4  four wheelers all blocking the way) we mentioned to them they may want to turn around cause this could be a while.  A small man (with a hick accent [6]) jumps out of his HUGE jeep and runs down to see the problem.  He runs back up and tells his 4 kids and wife to hop out cause he's gonna go try and pull them out.
(I wish I would have got this first part on video because it was pretty scary having this huge jeep drive basically off the cliff to get around the truck)
Here is a clip almost towards the end of our adventure.
You can't see it really but the blue jeep's winch is wrapped up around a tree on the mountain to help pull the truck out of the snow.
which is pretty much why the jeep looks like it's driving up the mountain 
and sorry, don't mind me talking in the video, if you kinda look closely you can see the back left tire of the truck is really bent and looks like it's going to break off



These two punks really had no idea what they were doing, they were lucky they didn't end up spending the $1200 it would have cost to call someone to get them out.  Thank goodness for them, our men showed up!
(maybe I'm being a little harsh, but really they had no idea how to handle the situation, they were lucky they didn't have alcohol on their breath with 2 cops around or they would have been done for)
I kinda felt bad that all they saw me doing was taking pictures and videoing [what else was I supposed to do?!] but as they were finishing up the only thing I could think was how badly I wanted to yell out to them, "hope ya know this is going up on you tube", but I didn't.


Afterward, we went and found a place for lunch.  Our wheeler was almost out of gas so we just went around the campgrounds scoping out places to camp for the summer.
Doug and Britt
There was a cool trail that had the river flowing over it so we all took some pics!  Then we went back, headed home (well to Doug and Britt's house), and cooked up some ribs for dinner.  We were all pretty beat, Lance and I went home and went straight for our pillows!

I love that camp ground at cub river. We stayed in that site right where that river crossing is last summer. Brad loved it when Randy drove the truck through the river. It is 10x prettier when all the leaves are out. We will have to go there this year.

That video it crazy. What an idiot. Can you imagine if that was one of the Fischer boys trucks??? They would be freaking out.

I love Lance in that black shirt. He looks handsome. Don't tell him I said that it will go straight to his head!!!
