Did another run today. It was me, lilbroII and another friend. Left my house and took doe mill to powellton, then powellton to inskip, then towards the high lakes. Made it to long lake. The snow was flying like mad and was getting deeper fast. No problems at all getting In and Out. Came back through butte meadows and stopped at Bambi for dinner. Headed home down 32 until we came across a focus that had slid into a ditch. No problem pulling it out. We were all pulling away when I dropped my right front tire into a culvert ditch that I didn't realize was there. That's right, I flopped my truck on its side into a culvert ditch at less than 1mph! Everyone hopped into action and helped right my truck and pull it out of the ditch. A caltrans worker wanted us to stop the recovery and wait for a tow truck, but i think he quickly realized we knew what we were doing and he was out numbered! He was kind enough to hold traffic for us and set out flares! Good to be home though!
