The snow is was just over 3' deep, I just didn't know it until it was too late.

It took me bit of work just to get it our of the hole it dug.

I cut branches off a pinion pine.

I layed them out on the snow and built me a branch road across the snow.
I'd move the ATV a few feet and then move the branches in front of the tires.

It took me a few hours but I got out before dark.

man you are patient....I woulda been sweating my ass off, miserable and ready to throw the camera, not take pictures lol. Good job!!

Right there. LOL

One of my stupid days. I was out by myself and wanted to check out those mines.

I was working my way up the switch-backs and fell into a drift.

Not much to hook a winch to and the one I had was busted, I actually just put on a new one this morning.

I live in Marysvale Utah, the center of the Paiute Trail. Those are old uranium mines and they are all over, I just had never
been right up to these particular mines.

Thanks, I take pictures of everything. lol

I think I would have put the branches behind the quad, Specta. And backed on out of there.

It was a tough choice. I originally turned down hill because I knew I couldn't get back onto the road when I first slid
into the drift, I turned down hill and hit it as hard as I could, I went about 3 feet when I came to a stop. LOL

The picture doesn't really show how deep the tires had dug and how big of a step it was to go back up or really how
steep it was, so I went down.

I got it now. The proverbial rock and a hard place. Only hill and deep snow.

lol looks like fun, would have been better with a friend with a winch on his quad. i dont have any friends with quads too, so going out by myself is about all i do.
