He decided to pull off the highway to test out his Jeep Cherokee in the snow.
Clifton drove around a locked gate on a closed dirt road, and after driving a few miles became stuck in the mud. Nature has a way of weeding out stupid people

Do not leave civilized areas without a well stocked survival pack and means of emergency communication.
One single mishap or poor decision can result in an agonizing experience or death.

Should have brought warm clothing.
Should have brought a survival kit.
Should have stayed on the main road.
Once they go stuck, they should have remained with the vehicle and created a smokey fire. Spare tires create a lot of smoke.

A similar thing happened to a software developer in this region a few years back, I think.
Went off the highway, got lost/stuck.
He left the vehicle to find help and died. She stayed behind and lived.

Clifton drove around a locked gate on a closed dirt road... I think that's the hint about where things went wrong.

So curious minds want to know: as she crawled past his frozen, dead lifeless body, did she weakly kick him in the face and mutter “dumbazz”?

“Gary Lane drove up the road with the loader for several miles, where he found (his sister) distressed and crawling in the road,” Levy said. “Gary Lane loaded Paula Lane into the bucket of the loader and returned her to Highway 88.”
That’s actually pretty funny. Implies Paula is a little on the large side.

... with 4wd you’ll get stuck farther out
Plan accordingly.

The Donner Party also didn’t know the danger of the Sierras.
Although their mistakes were made many weeks before in another state.
But the similarity is that they chose a foolish “short cut” like these people did.
