A locked front likes to walk sideways on slick rock.

No yard sale though, the glass stayed intact.

No, the come a long was to help get it and hold it on the wheels. It was winched up the hill with another vehicle to a flat spot so the fluid could drain.

That sucks. That looked like a nice rig, now it is a nice dented rig..

Is that at Evans Creek? If so, is that the 196 trail above that pond? It looks like it.

yeah it is. From what I was told, the front walked over on the slick rock from all the rain we had the night before, and it slipped into the v notch. That spot is known for flopping people if you slip into the trench. I only remember feeling it going over and me steering into it. When I couldn't turn the wheel anymore, I watched the ground come up to it's side. It flopped lightning quick and landed slow and soft, if that makes any sense.
