Up in Yuba Gap in the Sierras. My GF and I found a nice forest service trail that looked traveled. We headed up and about 1/2 mile up there was a stuck Expedition that someone left. So we turned around (which was hard because the trail was only a tad wider than my jeep). About 50 feet after we turned around My tires slipped into a bigger truck's tire ruts and my stocker bottomed out and we were stuck. We walked down to the main road where there were some snowshoer's and we asked them for a shovel (i took mine out the day before and forgot to put it back in and of course got stuck). well he gave me a survival shovel and after an hour of us digging and him coming up and helping we decided we werent going anywhere without another vehicle. I called a tow company and they said $350/hr. shop to shop. :smt093 as soon as i hung up the phone though a lifted ford bronco and lifted niner came over the hill to go rescue the Expo. (the niner is 5.9 ANDY on here and jeepforum) they pulled us out and they got stuck in the process. so after pulling eachother out a few times we got to the bottom of the hill where an Infinity SUV tried to go up and got stuck. they were blocking the trail and so we had to pull them out and they were really stuck. after about 3 hours we were all out but 5.9 ANDY and the bronco still had to pull the expo. my gf and i headed to truckee and we later met 5.9 ANDY for dinner. it turned out to be a great day tho.

i know... thats why im going out with her.... and because i like her for more than her looks.... :D

yeah andy, when the snow melts we should take a trip up there. ive been looking at maps and there are forest trails that go all over the place back there and there is a huge reservoir along with some smaller lakes. looks like a nice run.
