A little "tipsy" on Memorial Weekend

I posted this in the "worst stuck" thread, but I think it's worth repeating in the 1st gen section. It was snowing May 24th in the Utah mountains and I was backing down this road. I turned a little too much to the left and the road and mud gave way. This thing was on 2 wheels when I climbed out. 2, 1-ton work pickups topped with filler-tanks full of diesel and industrial toe ropes tied to each and one to a tree on an uphill pine got me out. I filed my insurance claim and took it to the body shop today. It will be as good as new by next week.

Almost tipping

This was right outside of a campground in the Eastern Uintah Mountains called "Upper Still Water". It's about 20 miles west of Mountain Home, Utah or in other words, BFE, Utah. There was about $2,500 in damage, all of it body damage. I am saddest about tearing off my front mud flap - hardi harr har. Thanks for well wishes. I'm extremely happy about not rolling myself!
