My brother and I did that once and we were only about 50 feet from hard pavement. The road were had just cut out had a small berm cut at an angle on the road. Driver's side tire went over the hill - passenger side the closer side. Vehicle was effectively trapped. Couldn't get underneath to dig out. Boy did we feel stupid.
My son took a picture of me asking for directions in Ireland about 20 years ago. He was 12 at the time. I haven't decided yet if I'm gonna disinherit him for it.
Not counting the news outlets or websites along the full range of accuracy and veracity, I follow multiple actual individuals' handwritten blogs. (Bot news aggregators don't thrill me.) Looking them over, many are current serving or former military and a couple are some variation of high-speed low-drag elite forces ninjas. Or just funny as all. Because life without humor is just despair. So in other words, the same folks I trusted in the military not to wet the bed, sh*t themselves, or otherwise run around like headless Nancys, are the same folks I trust on the interwebz, for demonstrating pretty much the same trustworthiness and circumspectly responsible behavior. Color me shocked.
Comments are fully moderated, due to idiots and trolls. Grown up discussion here will appear just as soon as I have the time to push it through. ANONYMOUS UNSIGNED COMMENTS WILL BE AUTO-DELETED WITHOUT MERCY, and the url added to the spam filter, or mercilessly mocked at the bloghost's sole discretion. If you're too chickensh*t to come up with an alias for online purposes, you're not tall enough for this blog. Pick a name, and stick with it, and you're good. Get cute, and you're wasting your time and my electrons, and your masterpiece will never see the light of day. No warning shots will be fired. If you can't maintain decorum and polite behavior, I won't toy with you, I'll squash you. If one of your comments disappears, YOU f**ked up. If all of them do, it's time for you to go. Disagree with the points made, on the merits, and you're good. Go after me personally, or other commenters, and your comment will never see daylight here. My tolerance for skirting the line is at absolute zero, and will remain there. Don't f**k up.

Directions! We don't need no stinkin' directions. Unless you know there is a sale on 7.62x54R somewhere...

Never been lost on roads but I was definitely lost for a couple of days in the Hellhole Swamp. Long before GPS.
I've often found that following someone who looks like they know where they're going works.
