Missed posting yesterday- Got stuck in a tree

Well I didn't actually get stuck in tree, I got high centered across a tree that was downed across a snow Forest Service road.

I had gotten notice that in the last windstorm 6 of our tress had fallen across the community road that branches off from the main forest service road. This has been a real bad year for windstorms here in the PNW and particularly bad on the Olympic Peninsula where I have a little off grid cabin.

Anyhow my old 4wd crapped out last year so I was using my 4wd Ford Escape which actually performed pretty well in the foot deep snow until trying to cross over a small tree trunk across the road. I could see where several other vehicles had gone across it but forgot to consider that my neighbors vehicles are all 4wd trucks with much more clearance!

Anyhow 3 hours later I had managed to cut the tree away with a small handsaw (my chainsaws were in the cabin I was trying to get to!) and jack the vehicle up enough to clear. No damage except a little to the mud guard. Whew! Next time, I'm going to just stay at home and write!
