then we decided it would be fun to go check it out agian last night in the dark and the rain. :hammerhead:  :smack:   needless to say we sunk both trucks.  the picture is blury but those are 38.5 boggers.  got that truck out by running the cable under both axles winching backwards with double snatch blocks to the only tree within 100+/- foot.  had to leave my truck last night. :smack:

o the fun of it.  get to go get my truck today.

Thats wheelin! If I go out and dont get stuck, I wont have any stories to tell !!  I notice girls pay more attention to "stuck when wheeling" stores that the " climbed up that trail without spinning a tire" stories.   But leaving your truck does suck, I have a personal attachemt to mine as well.

 :wall:  :wall:  :wall:  :smack:  these guys are really happy just to walk away. That's not snow they are stuck in. The truck is hanging over 300 feet of water. The only reason it did not sink straight to the bottom is that it's full of fuel so it's lighter that the water.

There's an area up in Canada that is only accessible in the winter when the lakes and bogs freeze over.  :driving:  I forget what it's called but we've seen the documentary on it on cable a few times. I'm sure there are a lot of other areas in the great white north that do the same.
The only time they have for trucks to get all the goods they need is in the winter and the drive over these frozen lakes. They have it very well engineered and have been doing it for decades but accidents do happen. You have to have some real brass ones to make that run! But they make big  :bling:

Here's a couple articles I found on google.

If you ever see that show, I think we had seen it on a Discovery or The History Channel, it's really interesting. They can only drive so fast, I think less then 20mph, over the lakes or they create a wave under the ice that will blow out the ice when they near the shore.
We are friends with a couple that are truck drivers, they said they know people that do this run and they drive with their door ajar (in -40 degree weather, mind you), just in case their trucks bust through the ice they can bail quickly!!  :bowdown: now that is something!

This is a quote from one article on it: "If you're still wondering just how strong the ice is, in 1978 RTL transported a 190,000-lb generator over the ice road from Yellowknife to Port Radium on Great Bear Lake, over 300 miles away. Feel better?"
