Everyone is home and camper is safe back in the driveway. It is nice to have a couple friends who no questions asked show up to help. Kids learned a good lesson got about what a real friend is.
We were headed there and made it to the second exit from our house. I’m 10 miles from our front door. So there are a lot of worse places this could of happened.

If we hit gold, what is the best method for hauling this home...
To caveat what @BuzzH said that wind is something else. Take plenty of chapstick and have some eye drops in the truck.
What appears a quick stalk turns into hours and by the time you get back your lips are cracked, your sunburnt, your eyes are snow burnt, and you’re out of water.
