The Sheriff called, take 2…

Got another call from Douglas County Sheriff. Jeep Rubicon high centered at rainbow falls riding area.

I told him I could be there in an hour. I headed up Mount Hermon got to the top gate and there was no tracks through the 5-ft snow drift. So I locked little beast in four low, and continued my way. Got out to Rampart Range and again there was no tracks headed north. So I made my way out to hotel gulch putting fresh tracks the entire way. Now I know where all that snow storm dumped the snow Mount Hermon Road and Rampart Range.

I meant the sheriff at the parking lot of rainbow falls, found out exactly where the customer was, and headed up. Once I got to him I found out it was a rental vehicle still at 40 PSI. Hi centered which meant it was going to be an easy recovery. A simple winch to the front tow hook to pull it sideways and he was free and able to drive again.

It sure is a lot easier to just call me to come get the customer and their vehicle out. Instead of wasting the search and rescues resources. And this proves that even Jeep rubicons can get stuck.
