Hey Guys again!
I just want to say a big thank you for all your great advice and help. This world turns so fast and sometimes people forget to be PEOPLE towards each other. The help I got from all of you on this forum, and the FB group that does offroad recovery reminded me that good still exists in this world! I was lost, frightened and did not know what to do.
Special thanks to Jerry for posting on that closed FB group for me. The response was super quick. In a matter of minutes, I mean minutes, people started calling and literally 30 minutes later Avi was already on the scene. I can't say enough good things about this guy. I owe him big time. I realized I know about off-roading as much as a newborn about fishing... He did practically everything, explaining and teaching along the way.
Let me tell you a couple of words about this trail, in case you ever end up on it. It is called a "lookout". It runs from the fire road off of bouquet canyon down to Rower flats. The trail is rated as a double black diamond! It has four really difficult spots, the first one being the hardest. It is this one that got me. According to the rangers, I am one of the few survivors and most die on the spot falling down the mountain. They showed me the vehicles still down there. Please please please, for the sake of the people who love you, know your skill level before you go. I certainly did not. In my defense, I can only say that I had no intention of going down that trail and had no idea it was a double black diamond but this is a very lame excuse. I did not want and did not know is not a good excuse... EVER!
With these final words, I am going to say thank you once more and go vacuum the glass out of the poor little Jeep.
P.S. My wife said a while back that this Jeep did not like me and I should sell it. The ranger today told me otherwise. He said this Jeep loved me and saved my life even though I was being stupid.
