No bashing here.....:hi:
Looks like a normal day at Elbe.:redneck:

We broke trail all the way up Sunrise so that we could get up and around behind JR to pull him back out. The snow was deep
Had to clear a few trees out of the trail
Got to look at this a lot
Thanks Joe
And finally up top
The hardest part was that the snow was in layers, about a foot and a half of powder, then a crust with one and a half to two feet under that, staying up above the crust was key, and my new tires @ 6lbs did great.

Jaydog's headed back out now. Just got a call that there's some kids stuck on one of the roads. Apparently a couple of guys walked out and got the sherrif but they don't have a way to go get them.
I couldn't go but Jaydog and rollin' heavy are heading out. Sounds like it was some kids out playing by themselves, unprepared.
They're trying to get in touch with Corey to get another rig to go. Apparently where they're at is probably accessible with a good pickup but the DNR won't take their vehicles off the plowed road.
They're looking for another rig so if you're already loaded and close to Elbe, let me know and I'll get you in touch with one of them.

Some additional pics of the Jeep recovery action.
I tried to just drag him through but the batteries wouldn't hold out long enough.
More shots of creative winching to get him up and out.
At this point we were VERY close.
This was the FINAL shot and we were able to get him out of the hole.
This was our winch master doing a ton of the work getting Kris out of the hole.

Here's where I started to cross the water hole. Looks OK at this point.
I bounced to the right and decided to give it a shot vs stopping, trying to back out and try that line again.
Going in!
This is as far as I got on the first crack at it.
You can see here the ice mound that I was creating in front of me.
And the work involved to try to get it out of the way.
And finally, getting out. At this point the two rigs got me out of the water. We hooked up cables and got the engine restarted. I could finally assist here by driving out.
