Wheeling on Mt. Etna (again)

     One Saturday I took my neighbor Gieusseppi and his kids up a trail on the side of Mt. Etna.  The trail had some snow and was few miles long.  The kids had a great time and once at the top I let Geuseppi drive in the snow.  I told him to blast through a snow bank or something and he promptly got stuck.  I told him to rock the truck backwards then forward and nail the gas.  He was able to pop out with a little momentum.

     I drove next and thought I would show him how it's done... Yup, you guessed it.  I hit the snow bank and got stuck too, only really stuck.  The next ten minutes involved using the High Lift jack and a shovel while the kids tossed snowball at each other.  Once out we headed home.
