I was looking at the off-road club grading structure yesterday and what I needed to accomplish and learn in order to be able to get promoted. One of those was the ability to shovel and dig yourself out of situations and learn some problem solving skills. Seemed simple enough and I ended up asking for it (I seldom get what I ask for) and it ended up being a curse only because the weather is still unbearable and we ended up shoveling for most of the drive. A part of me is glad however because I believe I did a decent amount of learning today thanks to everyone who got stuck, the teamwork and spirit and most importantly, @Islam Soliman.
I regret nothing, but I will not ask to shovel again until winter I believe.
I loved how the entire convoy helped each other out, and I'm glad your kid ( @Gregory ) had lots of fun watching us recover ourselves today.
