My Raptor Rescues a Ranger

[John M BUNMAN]

Never a good idea to Off-Road in the Desert at night without some off-road lights Lots of sink holes, crevices and hidden drop offs.
About a year ago, I get a call from my son at 2300hrs. He sends me the night shots. His friend has dropped his Ranger into a 10’ hole/wash. A few other kids tried to pull him out with some “makeshift” Recovery Gear. No luck
I would like to say it was a DRAMATIC, NERVE RACKING Recovery, but once he was properly secured it took about 3 seconds. Saved the kid a $500 tow so he bought the Donuts. A man can never have to many donuts

It was UGLY. The kids could have been seriously injured. Luckily my son was not in the Ranger.
If he had been carrying any speed it would have been an End Over nose dive!
Followed by Jaws to the A-pillar for occupants extraction. I’ve done a few of those b4

This is a Roll Over Just say No to Drugs

That’s awesome that you were able to come to their rescue! Was it drivable afterwards? As always you’ve done great with your camera!
