Mr. Yazzie's truck was not 4 wheel drive, and we soon found out that 4 wheel drive is a very good thing.
The vehicle had to be pushed while the other truck was pulling in reverse.
After some pushing and pulling, we had to take out the shovel and started digging. The truck had buried itself deep.
After one last push, we finally got the truck to a point to where we could drive it again. This entire process took about a half and hour.
p.s. Pushing Mr. Yazzie's truck out of the sand prepared us to do the same thing all over again. On out way out, we ran into some other people that had the same problem we had. We helped them out, and were on our way.
