We got the truck out!

We were picked up by Kevin and the heavy equipment about noon today. I had to ride on CP's lap all the way out there. We took him to our truck which was about an hour away. The truck was still there. Nobody else would take that road! I don't know what this machine is called but it sure did a great job. Kevin had us out of there in about a half hour.
Clarence and me being pulled out. YES !!!!!! NO MORE DIRT ROADS!!!!!!

We had a bad day!

We packed a wonderful picnic this morning and headed to the desert! AND GOT STUCK Cell phone reads NO SERVICE HOLY CRAP !!!!!! We are off the main road about a half mile or so. This is CP trying to get unstuck! The weather was great! But nothing worked and we had to hike it out to the road. We tried putting more weight in the bed of the truck with rocks.
We are talking about maybe 5 cars going by in 20 minutes in the middle of nowhere. I did have a loaded hand gun in my purse. Finally a Fedex truck stopped and went to a little town of Shoshone and sent us a highway patrolman named Tim. I never got to ride in a patrol car before with a concealed and loaded gun! I was just a little nervous. So we called Lori, CP's daughter and she sent us a tow truck from Pahrump, about 45 min. away
AND IT GOT STUCK !!!!! Well we did get out of there after about a half hour and we were dropped off our RV at about five thirty and $187 dollars later. We called Lori again and I think we have to rent a backhoe to go get our truck. So glad Lori is the manager for Hertz rental equipment!
Anyway, if you look about in the middle of this pic...that white speck is the roof of our truck, close as we could get to it wish us luck tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
