The

pulled T3
through the
loosely packed
sand deposited
by storm surge |
Snatch
Rope.
Don't leave
home without it |
The
trailer
shoveled too
much sand for
the Powerstroke |
 |
 |
 |
 |
The FCMP
deflated
the tires for added
traction but to no
avail |
The wind
left
the sand highly
aerated, making
it impossible
to pull |
The
machine
operator pulled
us completely
through this
washout |
Almost

Ready to
be
unhooked.
Thanks guys! |

We
unhooked

pulled a sheriff
out, too) |

We asked
