I won’t get stuck. I
have BFGs.
Sureshot was showing off a little and trying to impress his
girlfriend with his finely tuned 4Wheeling skills by going up FSR175 to Yankee
Hill.
(Don’t worry Sureshot.
I’m not going to tell them how you got stuck in a six foot snow drift on
another trip and had to winch through in both directions while she patiently
sat in the car tapping her fingers on the dash and mumbling something about how
you shouldn’t believe everything Outlaw says.)
He popped over a hill and stopped to watch a pickup truck
trying to get through a foot of snow on an uphill climb. The truck charged in, came to a spinning
stop, backed up, and charged in again.
That process was repeated several times before the driver gave up and
backed up beside Sureshot.
“Snow’s just too deep,” the driver of the truck said with a
smile.
“Think I’ll give it a try,” Sureshot responded.
“We’ll wait here and pull you out when you get stuck,” the
driver snickered.
“I won’t get stuck.
I’ve got BFG All Terrain T/As.
Outlaw says a foot of snow is child’s play for those tires.”

“Don’t know no, Outlaw,” he laughed. “But if your’re gonna bust through that,
better get a good run at it.”
“Okay.” Sureshot
floored his truck and charged toward the snow.
Just before reaching the snow, he slammed on the brakes and
stopped. The guys in the truck started
laughing and pointing. They thought he
chickened out.
Sureshot shifted into low and smiled at his girlfriend. “Watch their eyes when I crawl through this
without spinning a tire.”
“That would be impressive,” she commented.
To himself, Sureshot thought, “Outlaw. This better work.”
As expected, his 4x4 strolled through the snow and up the
hill to the other side of the drift.
“Did their eyes pop out,” Sureshot asked with smug grin.
“I couldn’t see their eyes but they’re not laughing any
longer.”
To get to Yankee Hill Road, take Forest Service Road 175 off
Fall River Road. Fall River Road is exit
238 off I-70 past Idaho Springs.
