CONGRATULATIONS TO lfthook ON FTF...
ON 07MAY2009 I WAS GEOCACHING AND EXPLORING THE WILDS OF UTAH. I CAME TO THIS SPOT WITH MY NEW JEEP (PURCHASED FOR GEOCACHING, OF COURSE). THERE WAS A PATCH OF SNOW ABOUT 150' IN LENGTH OF UNDETERMINED DEPTH, BUT IT APPEARED THAT OTHER 4WD'S HAD PAST IN THE PAST MONTH SO I PROCEEDED. I GOT ABOUT 20' INTO THE SNOW AND ALL 4 WHEELS WERE SPINNING AND I QUICKLY BOTTOMED OUT. I TRIED TO DIG MYSELF OUT FOR HALF AN HOUR, BUT REALIZED I WAS IN TROUBLE. I CALLED 911 AND DEPUTY BERGER ARRIVED ABOUT 1.15HR LATER WITH A FORD EXPEDITION. I THOUGHT HE WOULD GET ME OUT AND HAVE ME LEAVE THE JEEP. DEPUTY BERGER CALLED SEVERAL TOW SERVICES, BUT NONE WERE WILLING TO COME TOW ME OUT. DEPUTY BERGER CALLED HIS SUPERVISOR AND GOT PERMISSION TO TOW ME OUT. I WAS FREE IN ABOUT FIFTEEN MINUTES, BUT DEPUTY BERGER HAD TO GET DOWN IN THE SNOW TO ATTACH HIS TOW STRAP TO THE FRAME OF MY JEEP. THANK YOU AGAIN, DEPUTY BERGER OF SUMMIT COUNTY SHERIFFS DEPARTMENT. I HAVE ONLY HAD THE JEEP FOR ABOUT TWO MONTHS AND AM SLOWLY LEARNING THAT IT DOES HAVE SOME LIMITATION, BUT NOT MANY. I WAS LUCKY THAT I HAD CELL PHONE COVERAGE THAT FAR OUT.
