Thursday evening 5 of us were riding through the Elcho swamp inbetween Pelican Lake and Summit Lake. We come over a small hill, and see headlights in front of us. CAR HEADLIGHTS. They were obviously stuck. It was a front wheel drive 4 door Cadillac. Man and woman of at least 60. There was a 4x4 dodge truck behind them. They called their buddy.
Anyway to make a long story short, people in Caddy were from Chicago(go figure), the were following the GPS to their friends house. The road dead ended, but the snowmobile trail kept going. The GPS told them to keep going too. This wasnt a fire lane road trail. Its tight twisty and narrow. But hey, the GPS dont lie. They were about 2 miles from the end of the road where we found them.
So we spent the next 1.5 hours or so getting them out. I am actually surprised we got them out. I havent a clue how they made it that far, but on the way back out we had to get them unstuck at least 5 times.
But hey all was not lost, they gave us enough money to get us all good and drunk once we parked the sleds.
So watch out for cars on the trail around blind corners....
