Stuck in NE - Lateral-g Forums

Ringbrothers · #1 10-30-2009, 01:04 PM

Mike and Bruce are stuck with the trailer. Snowed in with all roads leading in or out of North Platte NE. Mike on his way to sunny Las Vegas is in flip flops and pink panites is soaking his frozen feet in the tub.
They are down to their last twinkie...
Any one with a shovel please help.......

I also got stuck in NE when I moved to OR.
They shut down a stretch of hi-way and weren't allowed back on till the morning. Thank God they did that cause once we got back on the road there were cars and big rigs flipped over and in the ditches.

NASTY!

Okay - last time it snowed here - I was downtown with my big azz dually 4 X 4 - got stuck in a parking lot and had to be chained up to a Toyota pick up to get going again. The Toyota driver and I had a good laugh about him pulling out this truck that was twice his size... and I agreed.

So as I'm turning back out onto the street - I realized that I had flipped out of 4 wheel mode when I was on the relatively dry freeway... and didn't flip back as I got off and into the muck... So I deserved to get stuck!

DRAGGING a trailer in the snow?? No thank you very much!

I'm headed south in the AM -- straight down I-5 via LA and hook left...

Hope the boys get plowed out not plowed...

Right Roger - that IS where I'll hook left -- but for someone "up here" (Pacific NorthWET) Bakersfield is a suburb of LA....

Let me simplify, drive south for a long time, turn left at Ironworks, go about 4.5 hours and look for the bright lights, you can't miss it.

Down and around was everyone's recommendation - hmmmm not the sharpest pencils in the box. I just talked to Mike and he said if someone (that would be me) gave a correct weather forecast they wouldn't be in trouble.
So on top of everything else I do I'm supposed to be a weather forecaster? - can't be too hard - forecasters are only right half the time right? No offense to anyone that is a forecaster!

They blew a turbo tube and had to limp along for 40 miles at 30 mph - it just keeps getting funnier. At least they are safe!

They keep my laughing anyway.
Hope everyone has a safe trip and doesn't have the problems my guys have experienced.

GO DOWN AND AROUND!!!
