Texas strikes

[Hilljackoutlaw]

Headed up the mountain this morning with elk bugles on the mind. A terrible road. At roughly 8000ft I switched from hunter to off road recovery as some Texan was in his Honda accord stuck. If you don't wanna be made fun of don't drive accords up terrible mountain roads the morning after a 24 hour rain storm. We got him out and he got turned around. Made me chuckle.

Headed up to 9400' today. Have been up there for fifteen days (incl pre-scout) and came down to see the wife and pups and restock/do laundry.

It rained a lot where I was so I decided to take advantage of the storms. I don't do lightning!

Best of luck to you. Kill a big one!

For a period of about 3 years, every time we saw a car crashed in the winter my little girl would say "Ugh, they're probably from TEXAS"

...no idea where she got that from

He was a very ashamed young man. He did say "man I noticed it was getting worse so I was trying to turn around"

Like this guy I helped a few years back, he had slid off what I consider a SxS trail. September snows can bring all kinds of NR excitement during and after storms.

I usually like to let the Californians and Texans sit for a while and think about the consequences of their actions before I pull them out. I guess it might be a little different when they're on the side of a mountain rather than in town.

Determination and stupidity are two different things. Seen a lot of "determination" in the mountains. mtmuley

Determination and stupidity are two different things.

They may be different, but they are closely related

One pushes through adversity while being aware of limitations- the other denies their existence entirely.

I worked with a guy who insisted we have 4-weel drive, a winch and two shovels. When all of them are exhausted and we're still stuck, it's time to start walking. That was his philosophy for pretty much everything in life.

I guess you could call that determination. I usually called it being a bull-headed SOB.

Expected to read about the rumored TSA sick out at Austin bergstrom airport…

Kill a bigun and good on ya for helping.

 

[LousyResident]

Let’s be honest. It’s stupidity if you get stuck and determination if you don’t. We’ve all been there lol.
