Stuck at Triangle Road

[scottmb23]

Ill double post this, just in case I put it in the wrong spot..
:oops:
Well Ladies and Gentleman, do not under estimate Triangle Road...Had quite a nice little Saturday jaunt with the kid in the back, even got the Disco up the big hill without the CDL and got the truck nice and dirty splashing
around the puddles. But wouldn't you know it, one victory lap later (as we are leaving) the dyke gives way about 150ft from the exit to the roadway and the Disco is sunk and listing horribly to the reeds and pond below..

Here is how we started, doesn't look to bad right? Almost like you can just back out..maybe if I had that damn CDL working...The 4Runner that came to help didnt have the power and the truck fell deeper into the ditch..

At this point, the young driver of the 4Runner, sorry, forget your name and thank-you so much for helping, called his Dad, none other than Matt of Kakadu camping, a fellow Rover Lander no less (what are the chances) who
hopped in his lovely 110 and headed for Triangle Road to help, love this community! Unfortunately, various tow out attempts seemed to further bury the Disco and left it a literal tipping point.

A last resort call to BCAA had them send a tow-truck who dutifully told me I was hooped and good luck. A follow up call to another company had a more eager fellow come out to lend a hand (or take a photo for Facebook) and
after some inspection decided he might give it a go in his bosses new rig...however he got stuck...and had to be towed out.

There Ladies and Gentleman is where this tale ends, I left my Disco in the ditch which is where she sits right now. I trust she will be respected by the brotherhood in the extended offroad community but I would be lying if I didn't
have concerns about leaving her there overnight. Right now and I am fresh out of options as to how to get out of the ditch, dont let the pictures deceive you, its quite the predicament, this thing is ready to roll. Its going to take a
team to move it...open to ideas, winches and possibly cranes.. :blackeye:

Yup... that would have been tense! Though I'm sure you did it on purpose just to make the Willies owner feel good cause our cars don't get stuck....
