The first picture is titled "does this look bent to you". The rest of the pictures are titled "Terra Not So Firma"
First of all, would all of the arm chair quarterbacks please take a chill pill and stand down. YES, I know that there were several different paths that I could have chosen to take to get to where I wanted to go. Regardless, I took the path that I did and no matter how hard I try I cannot will myself back in time to make a different choice. You are all entitled to your expert opinions on how you would have handled the approach and don't forget that even your hind-sight is 20/20 (just like mine is). As you can see I clearly stopped and called for help before the matter got ridiculous. As soon as I started to wheel spin I put it in park and called the Auto Club to come and rescue me.
There is one picture that shows the dually rear wheels of the tow truck clearly set into the harder dirt where he first hooked on with his winch cable. Again, he only connected to the front passenger side tow hook of my truck even though there was one on the drivers side as well that he could have used. You can see the carnage dug into the dirt and you can clearly see the RV wheels coming in at a much tighter arc than the truck was coming at. Although you can't really see the true depth of the tracks cut by the RV tires they were pretty deep. The rest just makes me wanna cry.
For your viewing amazement I present:










Cheers All!
