Haldi Lake

Nov 15
Snow fall warning today, went out for another test run, somewhere where i know there are lots of tree's for winching just in case.  Had an area off Haldi road in mind but with all the snow weighing the trees down the road i had in mind looked about half the width of normal and its tight to start.  Further down Haldi is a lake and no one had been off the road that way either and the trees were still being weighed down but not quite as bad so i went in to the lake.



While taking a picture my phone received a notice that i would have normally ignored but the few words on there said that someone needed a rescue.  Looking into it, a guy i had met earlier this year, was stuck in behind the hart scales.  I was going to attempt a different drive out this way but thought i should go help if i was needed.  I headed out to the hart scales and i guess i was 10 mins late as he was already out and filling up sandbags, as that was his purpose out there.
The roads were more difficult than off the roads.  Other drivers are scary this time of year!  No lights on, tailgating, not using turn signals, and speeding.
