Yup, that’s where. Ironically I’m sure the fact it was plowed, and there’s no ditches, caused it to drift so bad.
I made it from the last lease to the lake and back again on my quad, right through the fields. Drifts there were 3 feet at most.
Snow was up to the bottom of the windows on the loader at a couple spots.
I had to pay him, since the ‘boss man’ insisted. He said there was a guy who went through the ice on top of a beaver damn/lodge and they pulled him out. And a few others who’ve been stuck. I paid him gladly. Any alternative aside from waiting for the county to plow it would have cost me a fortune.
I’ve wondered how many lives cell phones have saved. It wasn’t cold enough, and I was prepared enough I wasn’t in any danger. Yet I’m sure the number of people who owe their lives to a cell phone, is countless. The flip side is how many people have been killed by being distracted by a phone?
I’m kinda kicking myself a bit, because I actually had the perfect excuse to stay out there and fish for a few days, lol. I could have just turned my phone off and waited for the helicopter on day 3, lmao.
