On the first recovery of the day we saw that it was winded incorrectly and we pulled out completely to realize that it was due to the screw that attaches the winch line to the winch was broken. To bad!!!

Promise not to tell Jack, okay?
Stanley Draper Lake, June 07.
That's JackMacOKC in the Rubi. That's my X behind it.
The Rubi is stuck. Make that very stuck.
Getting Jack unstuck.
Shortly after this shot was taken RescueX would show up . . and then Officer Pound.
Officer Pound was unhappy that our JKs were muddy. He read us the riot act about
tearing up his roads. Lately, BTW, all those roads in that area and around almost the
entire lake have been closed "for repairs".

OK, I'll start with nonjeeps.
This dodge 2500 was snow wheelin with friends in a toya truck and a ranger both tried and failed.
Friend of ours who is really pround of his yota thingie.
Darn x-country skiers who can not drive in snow.
found this kid with his mom's quad that broke the rear axle off.
Now Jeep rescues.
First Rhonda with RubyJeep and only till she gets a winch.
Friend of ours Karl, nose dived.
First the grand cherokee was just stuck then when the explorer tried to help thay get stuck too, RubyDoo saved the day.
The president of White Knuckle broke on Angel Falls in Tillamilk forest.
And finally Me, RubyDoo tends to get high centered espically in snow. But she gets her self out.

Not much of a recovery, or picture of a recovery, but , good golly Miss Molly, these kids sure were happy to see me and Rubi pull up behind them.
It's an unmaintained town road, that is just an access to a few hiking trails, couple of backwoods fishing ponds, and a short cut to nowhere. It sits in a saddle between a couple of good east coast mountains (hills to you westerners), and was pretty well snowed in until 2 weeks ago. I needed to wheel, but no one was around. I figured I could make it thru Wheeler Mountain Road(how could you not go down a road with that name?) alone. And it was great, ruts and wash outs, mud and rocks, and stretches of road still under snow a foot or more deep. One of those great solo rides, where every now and then you wish there was someone else along, just in case, but once you start it's easier to keep going than try to go back.
Made it through just fine, the right mix of fun and excitement to hold me until the forest roads open. Got to Wheeler Pond, took the dog for a short walk in the woods, had a picnic by the pond, watched a Liberty go in the way I just came out. I was going to go out the easy way, but after 2 hours, and a nice lunch, the Liberty hadn't come back out, and there was no way they were going out the way I came in, but maybe they were hiking the mountain? The road was clear to the trail head. I was up for the challenge so it's back into the woods. Pass the trail head, no Liberty, just a second set of tracks leading off up the trail. So away we go. They didn't get to far past where the snow started.
This is heading south, where the fun begins
This bad, blurry shot, is heading back north. It's a bad shot, but it shows well, how the Liberty, really got nowhere once the clear road ended. They are about 1/2 mile in, on a 4 mile run, with no help for several miles in any direction.
From here it was just a quick tug, and out they came. We had to back up a fair way to turn around, but that was mostly off the snow. It was a real easy "save", but the outright joy on their faces, when they saw me coming for them, made it well worth my time. Just goes to show, a (stock)Liberty should not go where Rubi's fear to tread.
