Take it out one bolt and panel at a time.
Yeah.
Didn’t the driver have a sextant?
How could this happen
Who’s IN the trailer? Do they need water?
We had a retard drive into a flooded street and submerge his car
Found him sitting on hood
After fished him out asked why was driving on flooded street, pass a barricade
Said was following GPS
One thing I’ve learned about using GPS based navigation systems is that you also need a map, as those critters will make mistakes. Prior to a trip you must have some idea what towns you will pass through and what major routes you will be on as well as direction. It’s common sense.
Interesting analysis of the current generation...can’t read a map, can’t drive a vehicle with a standard tranny (what’s that??), can’t do simple math computations without a calculator, and can’t write in cursive ( take quick notes). What can they actually do??? Bodes poorly for the future!
Can’t one of those big Sikorsky helicopters just lift it out?
narrow winding road= a very bad day.
I have cousins who have had experiences like that. As a teen, one was on a sailboat with other teens and they crashed it onto the rocks at night on the far southern end of the Baja penninsula. They all survived and had to hitch hike north to the border . . . where their mothers were called by the Border Patrol to bring papers and collect them.
Doesn’t anyone read maps and use road atlases any more?
They can read a map OK.
Simply avoiding the highway patrol and a cargo securement check.
They might ask some hard questions.
Best to push it forward and pickup the pieces 10,000 ft below. Tell the insurance company you swerved to avoid a mountain goat.
Just for fun see if the next gas station you are in has maps for sale.
The cost to get a Sikorsky to lift that truck out would cost more than the truck is worth.
A CH-54 might be able to crank them out of there.
My old buddy Mad Dog R.would be more than happy to explain that his beloved CH-47 will out lift that skycrane!
And don’t overlook the elevation, thin air less lift.
Hot weather too.
Get a movie crew up there and then roll it over the side, use the footage in the next Mission Impossible movie...
read maps
I was on a road trip last year and stopped to ask for a map, the lady behind the counter looked at me like i was from Mars.
Jack the truck up in the front and build up the terrain under the vehicle’s wheels using the available rocks in the vicinity.
I made a similar mistake but with a 1/2 ton truck and self rescued using the aforementioned technique. I was up in the big mountains and had to get myself unstuck.
I drove over it in a modified 72 Bronco when I lived in Colorado. It’s quite the drive!
I’m gonna guess you needed a Jeep to tow you over the rough sections.
LOL! The Bronco did better than I did!
