Funny i was just talkin about this sort of thing last nite when we were out on th beach about how when i was younger on the cape and how many unaired down morons i pulled out of the sand on the hill to the south side/ mission bell at race point with the 1973 land rover and people were dumb funded that it was only a 4 cyclinder vechile and had so much pullin power in the sand. Thats why oversands requires plywood and at least a jack. Old man always had the old high lift jacks in the beach vechiles for that. Many years of young inexperienced buzzed drivin the back side sugar sand beaches and i never got stuck. Few close pucker factor rollover calls runnin the cuts but never lost the old man's precious land rover

Been there...done that. Helped plenty of people out there over the years but only once did we bail someone without a sticker. Didnt notice they didnt have a sticker until we followed them out (sonofa...) . If you need help and maybe a little education thats one thing. If you have no sticker, have no problem breaking the law and are too stupid/ cant read the multiple signs than I will gladly let the rangers deal with you

I did help out a very lost, very stuck and very unaware young woman off a snowmobile trail a couple years back though. She somehow got her Audi past the snow bank where they stopped plowing the dirt road and it became the trail and surprisingly made it a few hundred yards down the way. After much pushing with no luck we convinced her to empty her fine clothes out of the trunk and use them for traction. She gladly agreed to anything as long as we were helping her. Despite the ruined clothes we still saved her several bills that day!

Still cant believe people trust their GPS when they clearly see snowbanks and unplowed roads ahead!!!!

Probably all the car commercials lately with those pretty little cars running the (hard packed sand) beaches

Was down driving around after Sandy hit. We were at the end of East Beach Road when i realized we were in deep sand. I said to myself "Oh,@#%$, I wish I had four wheel drive". Panic started to set in until I remembered I was driving my Tacoma . Stuck it in 4WD and backed out.
