It's A Big Ol' Truck

While at our Son's house, we got the opportunity to drive his newest ride, a 'bobbed" 2 1/2 ton M-35 "Deuce". I got to take it wheelin' at the local mud hole and it was GREAT! Below you can see Cherry getting ready to take it for a drive. She drove to the end of the street and decided that was enough for her, Son drove it back and went around the house and went to cross the deep ditch in front and, well, the mud was softer than expected . So he got stuck, IN HIS FRONT YARD.

The big ol' front bumper plowed into the road base and brought the rig to a sudden stop. In deference to his better half, he stopped there and asked a neighbor to pull him out.

The neighbor came down in his Dodge 4x4 and kindly pulled him out. Now the Bobber is over 10, 000 pounds, the Dodge, I don't know, 4,000 or so. He didn't even slip a tire pulling the Bigun out. No harm was done and the neighbors had a good time to boot. Son weathered the expected jibbing well. He has crossed the ditch before but from the road to the yard not the yard to the road. I may be going back to attend a military vehicle off road adventure in North Carolina with him.
