guess not.

that's kind of what like it felt like.

I didn't enjoy it THEN...nor do I want to repeat.

yup...any landing you can walk away from is a good one...
we did that...(my escort was in front of me...sliding down the hill spinning like a top.
I was hauling oversize...long , wide, tall and heavy...we was on black ice before we had any idea what was going on...our first clue was when the rear escort..."OH SHIT"...and slid ito the ditch..
