(But ALWAYS say thank you!)

Granted everybody has to learn sometime, but in retrospect I should have left him there to squirm for a while. The problem for me was that he got stuck like 30 yards from me and I watched him do it. Kinda hard to stand back and watch without looking like a douche

I told him once he got going to just keep heading straight back the way he came. Problem is that he couldn't even keep the car on the path and kept ending up in the fluff. The last time he got stuck I did some digging and then passed the shovel off to him. He just kinda looked at me and I told him that more needed to be cleared before he could get out of where he was, and then again emphasized that he should head back to shore.


While we (I) were digging a guy in a truck stopped by and asked if the stuck guy had a tow hook and offered to pull him out. The guy just kinda looked confused...I don't think he even knew what a tow hook was or why his car might have one.
