When you’re in dire straits and the truck is so stuck you cannot get out yourself, they have the big machines to pull your stuck truck out.
Nothing like a little bit of mud to make a mud bogger’s heart thump. This truck was in tribute of local man Kyle L’Abbe, who tragically lost his life a few years ago.
