How not to go off-roading

So after a trip up to Hebert, AZ to enjoy some snow and the company of friends, we decide to first hit the strip club up in Payson. Its 11am on a Sunday and because we were still a little intoxicated from the previous night we think everyplace is still open, YES even a strip club. Well it was closed much to our surprise. Speaking of Payson, AZ congrats to the high school team. 3A State Champs! They have nothing on Nibb High!!!


Back to the off-roading. After multiple attempts to find an open road off of the highway we come across one. Things are going good, the road sodas are tasting better than ever, the rental H3 is tearing up the terrain. Gaining confidence by crossing several small creeks/washes, Mr. S. gets cocky and starts to drive down a wash. He stops, looks around informs us we are stuck. Great, we are in the middle of nowhere in a wash with rain fast approaching. We get out get unstuck but only bury ourselves deeper. Standing around we are looking to eachother for answers until we hear gun shots. Mr. S decides to walk towards the gun shots we hear and while me being hungover and lazy decide to sit and watch the vehicle sink.
After 30 mins to an hr. Mr S. comes back with a few rednecks looking only for a payment of booze, we were in luck because we had a cooler full. On the first attempt to pull us out, they now get stuck. Now were all there waiting for the wash to rise and sweep the trucks away until two jeeps come by to get us both unstuck.

We had the rental h3 so stuck it took two jeeps and a truck to pull us out. Looking back at this day it may be the best of 2009. We went from thinking we were in trouble to the satisfaction of getting out and knowing more beers were in our future. Can't wait to get the next rental stuck!
