Worst off-road incident:

Off roading around Big Bear with two friends in the cab, I was following a shallow stream. At the same time I saw where the trail left the stream one friend said "It's shallow" followed by the second "over there". I heard "Its shallow over there" turned the wheel and found myself hood deep in a frozen over beaver pond. All it took was a walk and hitchhike out of the woods, a $250 tow, and 4 hours of working on the engine in 20 degree darkness to get it to run again. Did I mention I was 17 and it was Dads truck at the time?
