Lane, of Gardnerville, Nev., and her companion, Roderick Clifton of Citrus Heights (Sacramento County), were driving west on Highways 88 and 89 in Alpine County on Nov. 29 when Clifton spotted a cross-country ski hut near Pickett's Junction. He decided to pull off the highway to test out his Jeep Cherokee in the snow.
Clifton drove around a locked gate on a closed dirt road, and after driving a few miles became stuck in the mud. The next morning, Clifton decided to walk away from the Jeep and find help, ignoring Lane's pleas to stay.

That it is. It's also a great example of why you don't wheel alone.

Also why you don't go in areas you aren't supposed to be in. The driver went around a locked gate he shouldn't have done that.

No doubt. He obviously made numerous bad choices.

Dang that's horrible. I don't want to say anything insulting or against them, but it's sad they didn't go prepared. I know my gf would've been yelling at me if I did anything like that unprepared.
