     My head down and mumbling: me too.  As mentioned before it was 
at the Steamboat event last year. Did it in soiling trouser fashion. 
Took diffs locked and a 4wd Ford ranger to get me out. Not a scratch 
on the car! Opened the hood and found snow  in place of  what used to
be an engine. Thanks to soft snow banks. Ok Darin, that's enough laughing!
