RE: [Az-Geocaching] Do you know him?

Sadly I too was pulled out by a Jeep. Sigh...my big 'ole 4x4 Dodge Quad Cab was a bit too long for one of the trails out near Table Mesa. Got my tail pipe and rear bumper dumped into a hole. According to hubby "If I'd've gunned it I would've made it"  Mind you he's spotting me with a flashlight....sigh...but yup hooked up that little 'ole Jeep bro gave it some gas and with me gunning it it was enuf to pull me up the extra 3 inches I needed.
It was a sad sad day in the Dodge world that day.
Although I did 1-up the Jeep...going through the Gila River out N of the Powerline trail we crossed across the river bottom (which has water in it now!!!) and he got the inside of his truck splashed through the door panels. The Dodge on the other hand..still had 4-6 inches of clearance. VROOM VROOM....
