I've had to pull guests out of the mud when they made a wrong turn in the air park and got stuck in the mud.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06828727163244604661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508754319269484186.post-46222937137836885852016-06-29T08:16:07.398-06:002016-06-29T08:16:07.398-06:00We had 0.75" the other day, thank goodness ou...We had 0.75" the other day, thank goodness our road survived.

Then he'd laugh and laugh.<br />There was thunder and a dark sky up in Owl Canyon in the afternoon so I closed up some truck windows.

I'm impressed with the image quality of the iPhone camera for some applications, especially the quick snapshot.
