| We had seen some unknown writings at Moore when we decided to go on another road to another canyon. The road soon became a 4 wheeler trail so we started to turn around. As we swerved to turn a large deer jumped in front of us. We swerved back to miss it as we started down a side hill. I thought we were going to fall in the bottom of the wash when my truck lurched to a stop. But i could move back or forward. I got out and my runningboards were hitting a large rock. I had no choice i pulled forward but it wouldn't go. I hit the gas hard and the truck hit a large pinetree. Better yet I still couldn't move I hit the gas going in reverse now. I realized i had gotten between two large pinetrees after i hit the second one on my bumper. The truck was five feet away from the ledge, a 10 foot drop to the bottom of the wash. I took a deep breath and surprisingly i got out. I got out and checked the damage. The plastic part of the bumper had a long tear and the sides were COVERED in deep scratches. To make it better there was a large branch in my tailgate. Just glad to be out now. I guess.... i better buy a new truck :lol8: |

You mean you got out and walked around or you got out of the mess and drove home?
