Nice job!

That must have been one heck of a ride.

Was there a big stinky mess in the seat on the driver's side, or did he have time to clean that up before he brought you up there <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

How did he lose it? Looks like one of those "Hold my beer and watch this" events.

There was a couple of feet of snow covering the trail. As he was going down it he drove into a washout he couldnt see. The back of the truck dropped in first, he gunned it and the ends swapped. They were VERY lucky that the two trees the truck came to rest on stopped them. The next stop was the bottom of the gorge 1000' away, no cliff just a long bumpy uncontrolled ride, with NO seatbelts
As it was they had a little over an hour walk to find help.
