We had a fun trip up to Granite Peak. I didn’t take many pictures, so I got behind on the Photo-A-Day thing. But I’m back and am going to start posting those again.
I think the most memorable part of the trip happened Friday night. After Google Maps and GPS units led at least 3 cars in the wrong direction (ours included, luckily it led us close enough that I knew the way from there), the third lost truck got stuck in some ice. Note: the house we stay at is out of the way, however, it is not in an area that looks like the woods from “Blair Witch”. We had an interesting time getting the truck unstuck. Everyone that went to help (like 7 of us), fell on the ice. There was a bump on the head, and a finger shut in the tailgate (Sorry Tony). Also, it’s only about a block up the road beaten path (and only 2 or 3 times that was said). Luckily Leah had a tow rope, we found a chicken grate and my truck had enough traction with that. It ended up taking us 2 hours to get the other truck out of the woods.
Funny thing to note is that the path it was stuck on was mostly 1 car length wide and only got wider at a few spots. It was very woody and pretty dark. And I ended up backing my truck up down it quite a ways.
