A Picture Tells a Story

Don't it?

The middle of Nowhere¹ - Soda Butte Campground Road, just off the Northeast Entrance Road (US 212) to Yellowstone Notional Park, Cooke City, Montana (45.023568, -109.916660)

The road to Soda Butte Creek
I figured, since it was downhill, we could power through the snow to get to the clear section below. But sometimes 4-wheel drive is not enough. Especially when it's 18" of wet heavy snow that was dense enough to pile under the truck and lift it to point where the wheels lost traction. We didn't have a shovel (who'd think we'd need a snow shovel in the middle of May?), so I used a cafeteria tray we had behind the seat to remove snow under the front of the truck. And while I was doing that, Dah Wife got the idea to use that same tray to gather gravel alongside the road so we could use it to give us the traction we'd need to motor out of the snow. And then, farther down the hill with 2 wheels on dry pavement, the 4-wheel drive was good enough for us to back all the way up the hill, and out of the snow.
After we were got the truck back to the highway, we thought about doing a bit of traying², but we were too tired after the 3 hours it took to get back on dry ground.

¹ No people, no traffic, no cell signal

² Using a cafeteria tray to "sled" downhill.
Something we used to do on snowy days at MSU,
on the hill next to the cafeteria.
