Small Trail Off Rt. 30

I pass this trail every day - it is about a mile from my house. One day I tried to get up it. Notice how the tree is horizontal across the stream.

I had passed this trail every day and this day I decided to try it out. I had some trouble getting between the boulders and the stream and dented my door and bumper. While I was going past this spot I got my rear end at full extension and as I was putting some rocks under the tire a guy in a fullsize pickup stopped and asked if I needed help. I said I was fine, thanks and he said he thought my axle was broken. I said "Nope - just flexin'".

I got past that spot and ended up getting hung up on a downed tree. As I tried to get my truck off of it the tree cracked in half with a loud noise, the whole thing jumped up and hit my undercarriage and one end fell into the stream.

I got myself stuck really well after that and did some damage but managed to get out without too much damage to the truck.
