When you get stuck...stop...take a deep breath...go hunt the closest WIHA, have some lunch or take a nap until the the tow truck that you called, that your insurance will pay for, shows up.
You may call for a tow truck, but it will probably be a farmer with a tractor that shows up. And you should expect to pay him a modest amount of cash or present him with a bottle of brown liquid.
Funny story... A local farmer friend was out checking cattle with his tractor when he came upon a cadillac that was buried in the mud on a minimum maintenance road. Standing next to the car was a middle-aged man and a much younger woman was sitting in the passenger seat (draw your own conclusion). My friend said he would tow them back to the "good road" for 50 bucks. "Nah, I have AAA," the guy says and he was kind of snotty about it. "suit yourself," says the farmer.
20 minutes later the farmer's cell phone rings and it's his friend, the tow truck operator, wanting to know if he will take his tractor down a mud road and pull out a car that's stuck. He tells the tow truck operator to inform the car owner that the price is now $100 cash and he will be back in a couple hours.
They went round and round about the money, but the bottom line was that the tow truck driver refused to take his rig down the mud road. He finally told the driver, "hey this farmer is your only option so you had better be very gracious because he'll raise his price again or refuse to help you if you don't treat him right." My friend got paid in cash, and he towed the car (not delicately) back to decent gravel.
The moral of the story is, don't cheat on your wife. And also, give the farmer fifty bucks and be polite when he helps you out. :thumbsup:
I have to admit that I have been studying my tires this Fall thinking that maybe it's time for something that's better equipped to deal with Western KS snow melt on dirt roads.
