Murphy's law in action

I'm sure this was not part of the plan when he told his wife he was going wheeling.

That's probably what his wife did after she found out he was going wheeling instead of to her sister's wedding.

Back story. This guy swamped his XJ in a creek crossing about 12 miles from the trail head right after a significant rain storm. Flash forward 2 months when he went back to get it. He did some prep work before he started it and began to drive it out. On a steep hill climb....SURPRISE!....it caught on fire. I actually got called out on the initial brush fire response. The poor guy was devastated. The forest service drug it out with a dozer and left it at the trail head as a warning not to do stupid stuff in the middle of nowhere.
