Its a pretty big place, and it is in a tucked way spot, most people will take the inside route (which is an eaiser drive) and miss this. I still had the unit in the truck from past road trips.
What a morning this was...I thought I'd take the kids for little beach drive after breakfast this morning... All my beach safety gear is in the shed still stored for the winter. Figured..eh, won't be out there long no need to dig all that crap out just yet. (It stays in the truck nearly all year otherwise)
While out there today (after the buoy) I came across a women, real sick old man and a couple kids in a surbaban buried up to the running boards. NO ONE AROUND. Rear wheels were so deep their was no weight on them at all..they spun free in air. The old man (with bad lung cancer) was having some difficutlies.
I asked her what she was doing out here (no stickers, 35psi in all her tires)..."I was looking at homes to rent for the summer and thought we could drive out here." I was pissed at myself for not having all my gear but rummaged through both our vechiles and came out with a kayak strap and a stuff to start digging.
This baby was in hard. Sand up along the oil pan and the front and rear differential was burried so deep I could just make out the top of them.
To make matters worse her 4wd did not seem to be engaging anymore, only one wheel was spinnin and it was in air. I sat in the drivers seat, the "Change oil" light was on and check engine soon light was on.
First I let the air out of her tires to 14, then I dug for about a 1/2 hour and tried to pull her our in reverse. The Yukon was work'n hard as I had my foot to the floor in 4wd low and in the tow/haul mode and nothing was budging. I dug some more and tried pulling her from the front, the strap broke. I got really close and quadrupled the strap, and finally dragged here out of there. I drove her truck out as said she "never wants to drive on the beach again" (I didn't argue with her). I spent a good hour getting that vehicle atta there.
She offered to pay me but I just told her to save her money for when she returns this summer....
I thought that old guy was going to die out there. She was in a panic..her cell phone didn't work out there, she had her sick dad and kids in the car...she was frazzled. My only advidce was please don't drive back to Boston with 14 psi in those tires, you will not make it very far PLEASE stop as a gas station and get air.
