We met this young couple with a really beautiful infant, beatific smile blonde curly hair such that even I could say nothing negative. And two really nice dogs and even Rusty the curmudgeon was okay with them. They live two hours away in Colorado and came up for a weekend away. Then they had to leave Saturday afternoon to go home.
“We figured we’d worry about how we’d get out when it was time to leave and here we are. Stuck.” Mommy stood by the side of the trail and watched the back of the rig dig into the dirt as the truck went uphill.
The end of the puddle comes out into a steep climb and as the truck went up at the front the back of the trailer got dug in.
And there it went. Bam. Crunch.
He looked at the puddle and clearly we needed to stick something in to fill the water hole.
Ooh look! There’s orange things under the trailer tires. How did they get there?
I put my Go Treads there that’s how. They fold up like chocks so you can level the van and they unroll like sand planks to get you out of soft ground. They gave the tires just enough lift along with the tree trunk that kept the tires up and the back of the trailer from digging in.
Some mud, some twigs and off they went. We never got their names but we laughed a lot together. Nice folks and it was fun to be able to help out.
Now we go east.
Good bye Wyoming.
Back to the road but east this time. A few photos from our time out in Wyoming.

Hah! Almost fun when it's not you that's stuck! Pretty cool you were able to help... well done!
Enjoying the journey..thanks! And good job helping out the young couple with their rig.
You can take the man out of the public service department, but you can’t take the public servant out of the man… or something.
