Just posting as a reminder, especially when Roaming Aimlessly around as I tend do, Solo, that things can change quickly, so be prepared as needed..
Flaming Gorge, WY in the Anvil Dam area, around the lake.
Cruising looking for a landing spot, pulled just off the road, looked dry and firm, got out, LR sunk 2-3" but with a dually, 4-wed-low, figured not a big deal.. went looking for sites 7-10 min came back to this
It was one of those... OOOooops... What to do, what to do....
Started unloading, unhitching etc, fellow camper strolled by asked if I needed help, "Yep, I believe I do..." went back, got husband, came over and hooked up his winch.
Initially, nothing happen, I was in 4-wd-low with the winch hooked up and pulling. He then started to back his truck and an slight movement, eventually getting out...
Moral of the story to me is, if I'm gonna play in the Boonies, I need to be prepared... so looking at the traction mats, Hi-lift jack w/accessories and eventually a 16.5 Warn winch with the "Sand Anchor" or whatever they're called.
And yes, I was lucky. Lucky it didn't roll, lucky someone came by and very lucky it was pulled out... Thank you sir for your help...
can't say enough...
Lessons learn...
Hope that helps the next person and I will certainly "Pay it forward" when I have the opportunity, equipment and chance...
Good to go now...
