:rant;

My youngest daughter decided to take a drive to
Nikiski, a city approximately 160 miles south of home.

Her jeep is now stuck on a trail off of the main highway.
I called the volunteer fire department and they went and
picked her and  her friend up after they walked to the main
highway.  She says she walked approximately a mile. 

Damn it.  How the hell am I going to get her vehicle unstuck!!

 :stressed;   :stressed;   :stressed;   :stressed;

Hopefully I be back this afternoon.  Wish me luck.

It doesn't matter how grown our children get, they still call Mom and we have to figure things out.   I hope you find an easy solution.  Glad the firemen picked them up and they are ok.  Just wish the car could magically be back on the highway!   Good luck   :thumbup;

We lucked out, big time.

Thanks to the kindness of a stranger with a front end loader,
he plowed a path to my daughters jeep.  Moved a ton of snow to
get there.  Then pulled her car back to the main road.
We flagged him down at the 7/11, he was running in to get a hot
dog for lunch. The timing was perfect. A chance meeting in a small town.
Now, thinking back, a front end loader was the best possible choice
because of the amount of snow, and the lenght of the trail.
He was only going to charge us $75.  Ended up tipping him another
$75.  We made other calls to get quotes and the least amount was
$350!!  Really the picture doesn't do justice about the amount of snow.
And no, she will not try to 4x4 in the winter again.

Lesson learned just because you have 4 wheel drive does not mean you can drive anywhere.  Suspension and type of tires and clearance is needed as well.  It was probably fun while it lasted though.

Glad it was taken care of so cheap.
Maybe for a present of some sort, 4 wheel drive driving lessons. Jeep puts them on, local clubs, and so forth. Four Wheel drive magazines would help.
