Help Needed at Squeeze Rock

[David C]

I just got a text message from Glen Reams that said, "Squeeze rock, send help! No service." I replied to him that I am leaving a notice here and that I am on my way. My cell is 602-319-9565. I don't know what has happened but I am leaving in 10 minutes to go out there. Call me if you can go.

[David C]

Well, no replies or calls yet. I'm headed to Squeeze. My phone works almost the entire way there. Call if you can make it.

[Phx Cobra]

I got the same message. I will hopefully be headed out there in a bit.

[AZLugz]

David is heading out to help and has downloaded the contact list. I am at work and can not break away but He has my number and I will report anything he lets me know!!

[amber.hodge]

I'm stuck here at work - I'm sorry! Glen - stop breaking your junk!!!! We're gonna have to put an ankle bracelet on him so we know his location for emergencies now.... :)

[Digger]

just talked to David C. he headed out and I am loading up water crowbars etc. and headed out, neither of us have winch. don't know the situation glen is in yet. my# 602 920-2763

[ademster]

He needs to stop wheeling by him self.... if that is the case hahaha

Hope you all can get him out/fixed or what ever....


Im at work or else I would be there.

[Phx Cobra]

Just talked to Glen's friend out there.

Guess he was going up a hill and came back down and got stuck in some sand.
Nothing major, just needs a tug out it sounds like.
David is almost there, and I guess Digger is on her way out as well, he is on the road/wash to squeeze(the friend didn't know exactly where)
I think David should be able to get him out, if I get any more calls, I will post up.

He is 17, what do you expect?:rolleyes:

[amber.hodge]

LOL He is just a baby. When I was his age, we took a chevy truck out to the Bushnell Tanks and crossed the water too fast.....(i know, i know - water and i don't get along but I wasn't driving either time).....got stuck out there overnight. Glen is a lot luckier than I was....having a whole group of people that know what they are doing to come help....

Careful Sweetie, you are still a spring chicken yourself compared to some of us!!!!!!



:D


,

[amber.hodge]

LOL I know I know - but I've done a lot more and lived harder (made dumber and harder choices) and made more mistakes than the average 27 year old....I feel like I should at least get 5 years bonus for that.....I feel 35... :)

[AZLugz]

well, if that is the case I am a lot older too!! Wish I was proud of most of those decisions but I guess that has made me the person I am today

[AZLugz]

Digger, if he needs a winch, I can get away if necessary and I have the Jeep here at work, obviously it would break my heart to leave, but if needed!!!

[YJunk]

He was supposed to meet me this morning at 7AM... I bailed around 7:30 and came home... so he wasn't planning on being out there by himself; I just figured he never woke up and wasn't coming.

[amber.hodge]

Junky LOL you should get off the computer and go rescue your red headed damsel in distress you stood up this morning!

[GLEN REAMS]

Well guys im home got a nice ride in a sheffir helicopter(pictures later) and well i was told im on private property and they are going to send a wrecker out there and tow it. Well junkie is out there david is out there and so is digger but the cops told me if i go back out there they will arrest me...... 480 570 8093...Going to get my babe :(

[amber.hodge]

They will arrest you because it was private property? Kiddo you need to be careful!

[GRUNT]

Okay that settles it, we need to chip in and get Glenn an ankle monitor..... :D

[amber.hodge]

His rig needs one too... :)

[AZG23]

obviously Glenn has LEO issues......I cant see them telling him he cant come back unless he caused an issue.....cmon Glenn...what did you do to get em mad atcha...??


And STOP wheelin alone.....VJC is gonna start charging you a rescue fee........



its called the stupid Jeeper Law.......:D

[DesertRat]

I wounder if they will charge you for the copter rescue :confused:

[AZLugz]

Hey Glenn, before you go to Jail, I need to get those tires from ya....maybe you can use it as bail money!!! :D LOL

[My Green Jeep]

Well guys im home got a nice ride in a sheffir helicopter(pictures later) and well i was told im on private property and they are going to send a wrecker out there and tow it. Well junkie is out there david is out there and so is digger but the cops told me if i go back out there they will arrest me...... 480 570 8093...Going to get my babe :(

Glen... what were you thinking... ohhh yeah...


FUN FUN ROCKS ROCK CLIMB CLIMB...

Be careful and try to wheel with someone else and stay off
private land!!!!

[FrenchChili]

WTH? Anyone has a map that shows where private property is up there???

[westy]

I would be interested to know where the private property is as well for future reference.

[GRUNT]

Glenn knows, he can draw us a map... :D

[ROKCRLR]

Glenn knows, he can draw us a map... :D

LOL, yeah really.

I hope he didn't get in too much trouble. If they're bringin a wrecker out there I bet it's gonna cost him a pretty penny to get his rig back.

[mingoglia]

Junky LOL you should get off the computer and go rescue your red headed damsel in distress you stood up this morning!

Now that is DAMN funny! :D

[mingoglia]

At least when I was 17 I was being chased on a quad or dirt bikes by the cops (actually, Indian Police) so they couldn't catch me... Glenn, you need to abandon Jeeps until you get a bit older. :D

[azcharlie]

Man, I can't wait to hear the rest of the story and how the hell he got a copter ride. LMAO!!

[samdog3]

Did You Tell Them :d( The Cops ) That You Know Amber ???????

[Steve]

Any word on the rig? If they were able to get it out or LEOs towed it? Does anyone have the full skinny on what happened?:rolleyes::D

[TRLR8TDTJ]

obviously Glenn has LEO issues......I cant see them telling him he cant come back unless he caused an issue.....cmon Glenn...what did you do to get em mad atcha...??


And STOP wheelin alone.....VJC is gonna start charging you a rescue fee........



its called the stupid Jeeper Law.......:D

X2
First one is free. The next ones are just dumb Jeeper. I think they must have thought it was stolen totalled out Jeep. I mean look at it, hell I would have called the cops.

Kyle

[1BLKJP]

D*mn, hope that Junky and the others got it out before they got there with the recker. :D

Hopefully Glenn can relay the exact position and Sandee can help us determine if it's actually private property. I'm not familiar at all with that area out there.

[YJunk]

Okay first things first... my girlfriend Glenda is home safe and sound... heshe has a little sun burn but heshe's fine... :) phockerz!!!!


Squeeze has changed ALOT in the last month; heading n. through sycamore is likely going to be a no go for a while... the area of the trail that is washed out just befor squeeze rock is deep and just really loose sand right now... I didn't try real hard because I didn't want to get myself stuck; but the hit that I gave it, to get through the washed out section was unsucsessfull; its just loose and steep... I just started digging into the sand immediately and lost my momentum...

We got Glenn out on the first pull; daisy chained David and myself to him snatched him up and out...

If you go in go slow the first time; the wash is completely different; heading in there is a large hole on the left in the wash where with just a very small track on the right, then another area on the right that has a bypass to the left... if you're used to blasting it; you'll likely get your arse tangled up as its a completely different trail now.

Dave & Nancy thanks for the help... Dave; I can still hear the Mexican Hat Dance!!!

Oh and just for the record... there aint no way a wrecker was getting back there; the one bypass is barely wide enough for a wrangler... If he had gone back; we'd be pulling him out...

[Steve]

Thanks for the update. So what happened to get the chopper ride for him? Why were the LEOs involved?:rolleyes::D Loose ends;) :D

[YJunk]

Glenn can clarify but my understanding is this: he sent his friend off to the top of a hill with a cell phone to call one of us... his buddy couldn't get through to anyone and called 911... so the LEO's mounted the whirly bird and went a lookin... Glenn can probably fill it in better than that...

[Crawldad]

Man, I can't wait to hear the rest of the story and how the hell he got a copter ride. LMAO!!
That is funny. I know I'll be on the edge of my seat waiting to hear the rest of the story.

Kyle
Yeah, I agree. I think we need to enact a 3 strike rule here.

[GLEN REAMS]

Okay first of all big thanks too DIGGER JUNKIE AND DAVID C
Didnt plan on going out alone this morning. Went too meet junkie didnt know if he got my message on where to meet so when i saw he wasnt at the meeting spot i went too the trail head where he usually is. came up too the turn right before squeeze roc and well there is a little hill climb there now so i went up the little hill got denied, backed up and the sand was super soft and i just started sinking and i started sliding toward the water. Well when i put it in reverse too get straightened out i went too hit my brakes and well i didnt have any! so she slid back into the water/sand and after 3 hours of sitting there waiting on junkie. I decided too have my buddy climb to the top of the mountain and call someone. Well he didnt get phone service so he called 911

Because he starting getting sick up there and ran out of water the sent out the chopper picked him up then a hour later came and got me. I told them i didnt want in they said i had no other option. Well once we landed the sherrif came up to me and was being a real jack ***** too me out of the blue saying i was on private property and off the trail and i told him he didnt even know where i was. Well then he told me if i ever get caught back on Tonto national forest again ill be arrested and that its people like me that is causing the forest too get shut down. Well then i lost it and told him i put in more community service hours in threw out the tonto forest then his dumb ***** could count. Well he didnt like that told me my jeep was getting towed out and impounded and if i was cought out there trying too get it out i would be arrested

[xjstocker]

dude that sucks. glad its out and your ok

[YJunk]

That is funny. I know I'll be on the edge of my seat waiting to hear the rest of the story.

Yeah, I agree. I think we need to enact a 3 strike rule here.

Thats fair but this one doen't count cause it was a "Phockin" recorvery... see the sig... :)

[GLEN REAMS]

[GLEN REAMS]

I wounder if they will charge you for the copter rescue :confused:

ya im being told its a 500$ minimum for that ride... Sucks too it was only 5 min :(

[Digger]

OH and the little teenie tiny frogs, thousands of them. 3 could fit on my finger nail. The part of his jeep that was in the water was covered with frogs when they pulled him out. We thought about My Green Jeep (Roxs) got pics I'll load them up in a bit. It was a good adventure for me guys, never been to squeeze rock before. Fun driving in sand!!

[GLEN REAMS]

Hopefully Glenn can relay the exact position and Sandee can help us determine if it's actually private property. I'm not familiar at all with that area out there.

x2 sandee please chime in... Last i knew the main wash at syc wasnt private property?? And the cop that told me i was on private property didnt even know where i was. Does the MSCO have the right too "ban" me from all tonto national forest??

[Number 7]

Nobody but Glen would tell a deputy he's a dumb***.

LOL, good story Glen!

[GLEN REAMS]

Nobody but Glen would tell a deputy he's a dumb***.

LOL, good story Glen!

well the guy was a dumb *** he had a real crapy attitude aswell..And i found out the reason he was such a azz hat was because him and my buddy went at eachother throats there for a min because my buddy wanted too sit in the sherrif sub station because he was hot and dripping sweat and officer sucksalota didnt want him in there.

[Number 7]

Well, I'm glad you & your friend are okay. It was hot today & I'm surprised you didn't have enough water with you. Maybe that was State Trust out there? George doesn't think any of it's private.

[kemolewis]

Dang glen you and your adventures, you should have your own forum

[azcharlie]

The jeep stuck...
http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k193/glen_reams/Picture047.jpg


I can't believe someone would just leave there vechical and set it on fire........oh wait that Glenns Jeep.:o:o

[azcharlie]

Seriously Glenn I'm glad to hear you got your jeep out before they did.

[GLEN REAMS]

Seriously Glenn I'm glad to hear you got your jeep out before they did.

Thanks! im glad i got it out before they showed up 2

[TanTJJim]

I think I know that truck. A guy I work with was talking about a Ford pickup he saw in that area that was burnt to a crisp, small world.

And damn Glen! You remind me of me when I was your age. I bet it was fun though:) Was it worth $500 to ride in a 'copter?

[Hunter]

Well, not sure what happened, but I can tell you the 911 call put a lot poeple to work and got folks hopping. If Fox 1 goes out (County name for thier bird) that's big, BIG time. Glad it worked ok. Id go to the judge and plead really stupid and babble all over yourself for being sorry and a dork. Maybe they will reduce the fine. At least you got a ride. That had to be cool.

Thats the thing they didnt give me any tickets:confused::confused: will they be sending it in the mail?? Since your more involved with the MSCO than iam do you know what that copter ride normally costs? And i didnt even call them and told them i didnt want a ride i would sit with my veichical they said i had no choice...

[DesertX04]

I would bet you'll get a thank you card in the mail, or we're flippin the bill. But either way, you got to ride in a helicopter. Like Hunter said, had to be a cool ride.

[mingoglia]

...Glad it worked ok. Id go to the judge and plead really stupid and babble all over yourself for being sorry and a dork. Maybe they will reduce the fine.

That means don't show up for court with a sideways hat and baggy pants... :o

[Billy 4 hp]

That means don't show up for court with a sideways hat and baggy pants... :o

And don't bring an attitude if you do end up in court....

Trust me, I was "in trouble" at the age of 18 for drag racing, court is a very humbling experience when your a defendant....

[Billy 4 hp]

Thats the thing they didnt give me any tickets:confused::confused: will they be sending it in the mail?? (If something legal happens, they will serve you a summons to appear in court. Basically the State of Arizona would be suing you, but I'm NO lawyer)Since your more involved with the MSCO than iam do you know what that copter ride normally costs? And i didnt even call them and told them i didnt want a ride i would sit with my veichical they said i had no choice...

Your friend called 911, done deal.... When someone is deemed to be in "jeopardy" they have a zero tolerance policy, as you found out... Worst case they would have "subdued" you and you would have beeen laying on your belly for the helo ride, instead of getting your pictures of a lifetime...:eek:

[Hunter]

To be honest, I am not sure of that side of things. I dont get to site people so I dont know the exact rules.

If I were, you what I would hope for, as that at the end of the day, they realize you are just kids and did somethign stupid. Then did a really serious thing by calling 911. Hopefully, they will call it a day as saying no harm no foul and let it go. But as you stated earlier, if you gave them a lot of atitude while the deputy was trying to give you the "you were stupid dont do it again, what were you thinking, do know what you did?" lecture. Who knows.

I wasnt there to see it, but if you didnt sign anything, then you are not getting ticket (most likley not). And by that, chances are, you wont get billed for the ride either.... unless you really irked them at the station.

[mingoglia]

And don't bring an attitude if you do end up in court....

Trust me, I was "in trouble" at the age of 18 for drag racing, court is a very humbling experience when your a defendant....

When I first read this thread I was about to call Glenn a dumb arse punk... but then (it sounds like as you) I realized I did similiar idiotic things when I was his age... Glenn, when you get a bit older you'll look back at others and say the same stuff so don't take offense... I guess though once I did get caught I was a copy kiss arse and never gave them a hard time. These guys are just doing their job. Let them give you the "you're a dumb arse punk" lecture and take it as a lesson learned. oh, yeah, EVERYONE, if your wheeling buddy doesn't show, DON'T wheel alone. Especially in the summer months.... *especially* in an XJ... you're just bound to get stuck in one of them grocery getters. :D

I still remember the cops voice vividly "Son, that was the stupidest thing I have ever seen (vehicle had enough grunt to wheel stand on Central Ave, open headers and slicks), have you ever been arrested before this?" Puke, gag, puke again....:eek:

[GLEN REAMS]

Ya i didnt sign anything but they did take my license and copy it and take my ssn

[amber.hodge]

Just make sure you are more reponsible and go only where it is legal to go and only when you are with another person from now on Glen. You don't want to end up the little jeeper that cried "help" too many times. - Although Ben and I are always there for you when you need us and we can physically get there.

[FrenchChili]

Damn, all of you talking about Glen, I'd be on to his buddy...calling 911??? wth? Never been stuck before? Panicking?

Step 1: Don't call 911
Step 2: think of all options and try them
Step 3: when you run out of options THEN call 911 as to not waste their time when they possibly could be rescuing someone else in need.

But I wasn't there so guess I don't know:cool:

Glenn....nice pics:D:D:D

[GRUNT]

911 is his only signal out. I am not a technical whiz but if I understand correctly the cell phone providers are supposed to set all towers to receive 911 regardless of coverage... Glenn, you did not sign anything so I agree with hunter, I think you are good. They probably copied your info for the report. I am still unsure about the helo ride though. Glad you got it out and you guys are okay. I also agree with what someone said above, you shoudl get your own thread!

[macinyart]

LOL I know I know - but I've done a lot more and lived harder (made dumber and harder choices) and made more mistakes than the average 27 year old....I feel like I should at least get 5 years bonus for that.....I feel 35... :)

What a coincidence! I just had a birthday making my total a bit more than seven decades and I feel 35 too. :D

[jeeper05]

Hate to pee on yer party but has anyone here ever signed anything before they shipped you a traffic camera ticket? However 500 bucks for a lifetime memory,pics most of us will hopefully never be able to duplicate and a copter ride sounds like deal to me.

[macinyart]

Glen,
I just looked at the pictures of your jeep stuck in the water surrounded by sand. I think they look a lot like some that I have, perhaps before you actually joined AVJC? :D Think "first cove"? Glad you are back safe. Aren't helicopters cool? :D Wish I had been there to help out. We will be back in AZ in about two months so, if you can, keep it cool till I get back....OK?

[Oc1paddler]

At least you got to ride in the helicopter! Ive gotten lifted up a bunch of time's on the end of a tether during swift water rescue training but have never gotten to sit inside. You probably don't get the fine dirt sticking all over your body when your dry and inside. Landing sucks big time when your wet and on the end of a rope!!!!

[David C]

Well, I finally got internet access! I've been dying to read this thread all evening! Amusing, as I expected. First, thanks to everyone who called and offered more help and to those who relayed info. Thanks, Digger for joining the effort. It looks like the story has been told, but I will add that according to my official Tonto Forest map which I bought at the office where I got my Bulldog Permit, Squeeze Rock lies on Tonto National Forest land. It is not private property, nor State Trust or BLM. I believe the forest road # is 1846, but I don't have the map in front of me at the moment. The spot where Glen got stuck is the exact spot I posted a picture of last week when I was out there with Fireball. http://www.virtualjeepclub.com/showthread.php?t=24808
I believe my assessment was "impassable." That still stands. Maybe after it dries out, maybe it will be doable, but not at the moment. I'm glad Glen and his friend are ok, and I'm really glad his rig came right up out of that sinkhole, cause it was HOT out there. Digger did exactly as her screen name says, she got right under there with her camp shovel and dug around the front axle and put a chain around it and hooked to my strap. I was the turnbuckle in the train as Yjunk hooked to my front end and on the count of 3, we all powered right up out of the hole. Good teamwork all around! I'm glad I was able to be of assistance today. This is a great group of people here!! :)

[1BLKJP]

So Glenn, when you were in the chopper circling did you happen to scout any new trails in the area? :D

[YJunk]

He showed he just got tired of waiting... actually just figured Glenn was probably still sleepig; when I was 17, 7AM didn't even exist on my clock...

[mingoglia]

He showed he just got tired of waiting... actually just figured Glenn was probably still sleepig; when I was 17, 7AM didn't even exist on my clock...

Sorry, let me clarify:

Glenn, when your wheeling buddy left because you drank 1 to many 40's the night before and couldn't get your lazy arse out of bed, DON'T GO WHEELING ALONE. How's that? :D

[YJunk]

LOL... that's perfect!

[GLEN REAMS]

Sorry, let me clarify:

Glenn, when your wheeling buddy left because you drank 1 to many 40's the night before and couldn't get your lazy arse out of bed, DON'T GO WHEELING ALONE. How's that? :D

i was 15 min late. I dont drink 40's anymore either sorry :p

[GLEN REAMS]

So Glenn, when you were in the chopper circling did you happen to scout any new trails in the area? :D

Why yes Jack yes i did! But they are probably private property or something... :mad:

[GLEN REAMS]

Well turns out i wasnt the only person that got stuck there yesterday either. Just talked to a buddy i work with and he said when he drove back there last night there were a total of 3 other trucks stuck in the same spot as i was. 1 2wd s-10 1 4wd chevy 1500 got stuck trying to pull him out and then a 4wd fronter thought he was a bad azz and tryed to go and show off as they were both stuck. Then slid down and into the s-10..If a jeep locked front and rear on 37's a 4.88 gears cant make it then im guessing its going to keep on getting people stuck from now on....

But did they get the copter ride.:D:D:D

[GLEN REAMS]

But did they get the copter ride.:D:D:D
No im sure there friends werent dumb enought too call 911

[David C]

Hmmm, I'm thinking I should just set up shop out there - $50 to tow a truck out - $100 to tow a truck out that tried to tow a truck out - $500 to tow any truck that attempts while the 1st two are still stuck. Jeeps are FREE (but I know any other Jeeps would just park next to me and break out some popcorn :D). I need a partner though, someone shrewd and greedy...:cool:...anyone?...anyone?...Bueller?:D

Jeeps are FREE (but I know any other Jeeps would just park next to me and break out some popcorn :D). I need a partner though, someone shrewd and greedy...:cool:...anyone?...anyone?...Bueller?:D
Well i do need to pay for a copter ride :rolleyes:

[mingoglia]

i was 15 min late. I dont drink 40's anymore either sorry :p

Let me clarify once again:

Glenn, when your wheeling buddy left because you drank 1 to many wine coolers the night before and couldn't get your lazy arse out of bed, DON'T GO WHEELING ALONE. How's that? :)

Because we were ALL 17 year olds at one time and ALL of us did the SAME dumb stuff :D It isn't a newsflash - once one hears your age; they can easily think back to dumb stuff they did at that age and then we understand...but wish you'd learn faster than we did! :D

When I was your age, we used to drive out to saguaro lake at 2AM in october wearing swimsuits and chucks; hiked the trail to the cliffs and we'd go cliff jumping - knowing there were rocks below and we couldn't see em....I got stuck out at bushnell tanks after doing a water crossing :rolleyes: (i wasn't even driving) overnight...We used to play tag on public streets with our cars using raw biscuit dough for tagging people....Done a lot dumber things I won't even mention - but just be grateful that this time you got a ride in a chopper - many of us weren't that lucky and got driven home in the backseat of a squad car to our parents after doing dumb stuff.

the point is - you are going to make mistakes and do dumb crap. It is your age and its normal - just be ahead of the curve and learn from this.

I'm down for that... throw up one of those tarp gazebo things and just sit there in the shade... people drive in and say "what ya doing"... Nothing... They go get stuck and say "can ya give us a pull"... Yup... One Fiddy... cash

Wheeling alone isnt really the crime here. Most of the time I wheel alone. Trick is being prepared for it. Haveing your hi-lift jack, some good recoverygear, a full size shovel, water, etc. Oh, and NOT TAKING REALLY STUPID SICK LINES ON WILD OBSTACLES THAT ARE FILLED WITH SAND AND WATER well also help to make sure you come home safe and sound.

Lord knows I have gotten myself into some jams. Getting hi-cenetered or caught in a rut. But got to have the gear with you.

:rolleyes:

[Fire Ball]

David, sorry I didn't get your call till after it was all over. Carrie and I were hiking / Geocaching up on the rim all day.

Glen, sorry I wasn't there for you but thanks for the story :D

You're right, but unless you have a HAM or Sat phone (and GPS) radio or are an experienced extreme weather hiker it's still not a good idea. Vehicles break down in ways that you can't improvise a fix even with the best of tools/spares... in that case, you have to get the word out and unfortunately in AZ most of the places we wheel have poor mobile phone service. In this situation an experienced ham operator should be able to get the word out and use the GPS to give someone their pin point location.... did I mention the experienced extreme weather hiker part? A person can't last very long in these extreme conditions... and worse yet, a person that's in a panic will last even less in these conditions.

[GRUNT]

...We used to play tag on public streets with our cars using raw biscuit dough for tagging people.....

Okay, don't get mad if a "jihad jeep" hits the crown vic coming out of papago one day with rounds/IEDs of raw biscuit dough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lilbluej]

me and a buddy ran out there and got to that spot where you got stuck. i thought you had 35's? its just soft sand, did you forget the 4x4 lever needs to be shifted?

i also saw where junky tried to get up and we went up that and i was supprised that it was easy, it looked unpassable but the heep just hopped right up it. my buddy got into the skinny pedal too hard and blew his rear drive shaft so we didn't get to run the trail, but the parts that i saw on the walk up looked a little harder because all the filler sand seems to be washed out. i don't know if the mud hole is full but by the looks of everything else it must be. we're running out there tomorrow a.m.

[David C]

Thank you, Hunter. Well said.

Ya im sure i could have got pass it if i would have got into the throttle a little more. I didnt get a running start at it neither did junkie. im sure afer todays rain its going to be alittle bit more washed out.

[My Green Jeep]

OH and the little teenie tiny frogs, thousands of them. 3 could fit on my finger nail. The part of his jeep that was in the water was covered with frogs when they pulled him out. We thought about My Green Jeep (Roxs) got pics I'll load them up in a bit. It was a good adventure for me guys, never been to squeeze rock before. Fun driving in sand!!

Awww... and no one brought me back any????

Now I have to go out there and find what you guys were talking about..

GOT FROGS???

[amber.hodge]

Yeah....um....I said it was stupid things I did as a teen.....I had an S10 Blazer sport at the time and it was well dented - I would be PISSSSSSED if my crown victoria LX got a dent in it! :D

[FrenchChili]

Digger took pictures. And actually about 10 of them made a temp home inside my rear bumper and saturday morning when it was raining they all hopped out and went on with there lifes! i took pictures of them under my jeep in my drive way but you cant tell. It just looks like little rocks and dirt

[Fire Ball]

When DavidC and I were out there all the pudles were full of tadpoles. Some had grown to frogs. Cute little fella.

Now they are gonna take over the valley. Guess that is why tread lightly wants us to wash our rigs, prevent invasive species :D

[David C]

All those tadpoles are now tiny little frogs. And yes they should stay in their own puddles - I cleaned a whole bunch off of his bumper and put them back, but there must have been some nooks and crannies we missed. These frogs were seriously small - 4 or 5 could have fit on my thumbnail! But they sure had big, scary-looking fangs!:D

[Digger]

I tried to load pics on Fiday, they were being a pain. I will try again,,,I need some pointers from pc guru .hint, hint :o

Info from inside the Sheriff's office told me that the reason you got punked by the sherriff's deputy
was the 911 caller told the 911 operator to go "F" herself. That's why they were PO'D.

Your lucky you didn't got to the pokey!

[SHNIPE]

now why would someone tell the dispatcher to F herself? any chance we can get the 911 call released for listening pleasure :D

I am not sure why someone would do that. All I know is you

don't usually bite the hand trying to help you. And you don't call

a Sheriff's Deputy a "dumb ****".:D
