Green grid thingamajig
It only took cutting down a
tree, jacking up the rear wheel, scooting a grid thingamajig under the
tire, and adding some weight to finally get the truck free.
The green grid thing got left
behind by the crew who leveled out our trailer. They got their truck
stuck in the mud and used a few of them to get out and I guess didn't
want to get muddy by retrieving them.
I think we'll keep the cinder
blocks in place to increase our traction.

About halfway through our second round of trying to get the truck unstuck, Mark looked over at me and said, "If we had a winch..." He's been angling for one for years, but hasn't worn me down yet.
At this time of year, we usually do have a lot of mud, but this year it's really only two inches of mud on top of ice!
