A number of years ago my wife and I were at Jackson Lake, in the late fall, fishing and had just put our boat in the lake. The end of the ramp was just barely in the water so a person had to get off the ramp with the back wheels in order to launch the boat. Well, someone with a off-shore racing boat, a cigarette I believe, started to put his boat in the lake, got the boat off the trailer and couldn't get the trailer out as the back wheels of the tow vehicle, a FORD, spun in the rocks off the end of the ramp. So, I went and unhooked my trailer and pulled the FORD up the ramp with my little old GMC D/A combo. Only bad thing was that my wife was so engrossed talking to the owner of the cigarette boat that she didn't take any pictures of our GMC pulling the FORD up the ramp. Probably could have gotten a couple of shekels for that picture. In all fairness, the FORD was a two wheel drive long-bed and the rocks off the end of the ramp were not only wet but slick as well. It was fun doing it, though.
