Yeah unfortunately thats what im thinking in the back of my mind. but we have one last attempt tomorrow, or the weekend. the snow is supposed to cal m down so nothing will change. We have one last friend who has a bronco on 37's and he has chains for his tires. i have no doubt he will get up there, he just has to get time off work. that was our problem today.

here's the Yota

One of the trucks needs a GoPro slapped to the side of it!

thats what we have is a GoPro lol. thats what the first video i linked was taken with. im waiting for my friend to edit the other ones

Its supposed to be raining up where the truck is so hopefully it will make it a little easier to get. we are just worried about leaving it up there because of the town its located in. Granite falls, which happens to be meth capital of the world. if we leave it up there to long all he will have left is a door handle.

Ok guys you will never guess what just happened. My friend happens to be one of the luckiest guys alive right now.

So he is a member of Pirate4x4.com and so am I and we got two guys from there who are taking us up tomorrow to rescue his truck. I made a post saying which road its on and everything. Then about 10 minutes ago he revieves a link from a guy and he says next time bring extra valve stems, so my friend says "uh ok thanks for the advice" then he opens the link. link: 01-21-12 - Mt Loop Run - SnowTrek.org Forum

So this is all out of the blue, he scrolls through the photos and what does he find a picture of sitting in the ditch.. So these guys pulled his truck out fixed his tire and have it sitting there waiting for us to get tomorrow.

This is a fricken miracle, Im not even sure if these guys knew it was up there or how they found him on the forum. i mean im guessing they knew it was up there from my post but they didnt tell anyone they where going up to get it.

Im SOOOOOOO glad there are amazing people in this world like these people who went and got his truck. i mean my friend started crying when he saw those pics at the bottom. we are beyond happy.

then my friend goes back and obviously thanks they guy up and down

i will take more pics tomorrow.
