Long run gone wrong.  Driving up to the Elbe hills trailhead, went from a snow dusting to 2' in the span of 1/4 mile.  Unfortunately, that 1/4 mile was on a steep hill where no turnaround was possible.  Then got stuck trying to turn around.  Another truck showed up with a tow strap and got me loose.  Turns out he was looking for a turnaround spot too.  So we both decided to stick together and to push forward to the next level spot where we thought we could turn.  Where I got stuck again.  Twice.  The second time, the other truck got stuck trying to get me loose.  So here we are, two 4x4 trucks, stuck in the snow.  Thankfully, a jeep with a winch showed up and got us both out of trouble.  When I finally drove back out of the snow, I parked and ran back to the turn around and onto the trails.  Post-holed up to my knees for a short time, then headed back and called it a day.

Somehow, I knew you'd be the first one to comment.

Maybe I ought to just lay off driving completely.
