Four wheel drive forever.

So my buddy phones me around 6:30 on Friday and tells me he is heading to Cultus for the week-end. Around 9:30 I talk to him again and he is all excited (drunk) and expresses his excitement with a certain situation that he has encountered. He won’t tell me what it is but only that, “I won’t believe it”. I tell him I will be there in an hour.

He calls me back 45 minutes later, and tells me how I won’t believe it again, and is laughing. I tell him I will be there in 17 minutes. He tells me Clear Creek campsite, number 19.

I get there, and it isn’t his site. I phone him and he assures me it is 19 and then adds, right across from 70, haha. I tell him that I will find site 70. I get there and his truck is in site 69 but the 6 can be mistaken for a 1. However, his truck is there but not his fifth wheel.

As he is walking towards me, he is staggering and tells me his trailer is in another site accidentally. He shows me towards his unit and now I see his dilemma. His truck is only a two wheel drive and he has gotten the trailer off the main driving area so that the back bumper of his trailer is touching the ground and where his truck wheels would be, the gravel is loose and he wasn’t able to pull it out. (if he had a 4 wheel drive it wouldn’t have been a problem) SO he apparently unhitched his truck, called a tow truck and they tried to lift the trailer up with the rear hydraulic tow lift where they would usually put the front wheels of a car unto. They tried hooking unto the two jack stands under the front of the main trailer, not the fifth wheel area. haha.

This is where it gets interesting, also keep in mind that this trailer is on a downhill slope. Now the reason my buddy unhitched his truck is because he has already caused some serious damage to his truck and trailer. The back of the box has been bent over by about 6 inches because it came into contact with the underside of the fifth wheel. The underside of the trailer too has some serious damage. It gets worse.lol.

The tow truck’s hitching device fails due to the harsh incline and snaps, causing the trailer to roll backwards into the picnic table which is secured by concrete and made out of 3x 12 planking. As the trailer drops, the fifth wheel part of the trailer drops unto the back of the tow truck and now rips open a huge area of the front of the trailer. lol.

Needles to say, that tow truck wasn’t there when I arrived. Now another truck arrives and he does it the right way. We hitch on my buddies truck to the fifth wheel and the tow truck gently pulls him out of there, and oh, I drove his truck, too funny.

Now none of this would have happened if he’d had a four wheel drive.:LOL:
