 Stolen Explorer Stolen Explorer 2
There's nothing like being treated to an unusually warm winter Saturday in the mountains. If not for the snow on the ground, we might have thought it was summer. After spending the morning doing some Jeep'n on Pierson Park Road, we headed up Bunce School Road. The road still had a good amount of snow on it, and it was melting fast, making for some deep ruts in the previously packed down portion. About a mile into the run, we came upon a full sized Blazer coming up the side road and he was high centered and totally stuck in the snow. We strapped the back of RM's Jeep to a tree and winched the Blazer out in a snap. He was really grateful because the shovels that he and his friends had just weren't doing it. After that we made it a couple of miles up the road when we came to a Ford Explorer that was stuck in the snow and no one was around. When we investigated, we found that someone had taken a big rock and smashed the thing up. It was really a shame because it was a pretty new vehicle. We assumed that some family had driven up there, got stuck, walked out and then some jerks found the vehicle and messed it up. We ended up turning around because we couldn't get past the Explorer. When we got about half way back to the road we came upon a Sheriff Deputy with his pickup and he had gotten stuck trying to make it up a snow covered hill. By this time, the snow was getting much harder to get through as the tracks were getting deeper. Once again, we strapped the back of RM's Jeep to a tree and hooked up the winch. This time, the winch was really struggling trying to pull that big truck up the hill and over a mound. It was really dragging the Jeep battery down but the truck finally started moving and we got him out of there. Once the Sheriff was back on hard ground, he told us he was on his way to do some CSI type work on that Explorer because it was stolen. We told him that the snow was worse down the trail and if he couldn't make it up the hill where he got stuck, he wasn't going to make it any farther. He ended up leaving his truck there and we gave him a ride back out to the Explorer. While he was taking finger prints and checking things out, we hid this cache. After that we brought some of the contents of the Explorer back, like two child car seats that the deputy wanted to get back to the family that owns the Explorer. Make sure you check out the I Winched the Sheriff cache also. It is located at the site where we pulled him out. Note: The cache has an unactivated 2007 CO geocoin for FTF.
