We were talking and realized that we (Clint and I) have been off-roading since before it was a "thing." We use to seek out fire lanes and other roads to explore them when we were dating just to see what we could see. It was cheap and fun. We'd talk and talk and talk as we went. We'd often combine it with hiking especially in the Dismal Swamp. That's 37 years and hundreds of mostly perfect experiences!
We began overlanding (4WD and camping as we went) in the old 4x4 Ford we had. (The one Amanda rolled.) Again, we didn't know it was a thing then.
We have NEVER had to spend the night stuck on a trail...until this past weekend.
I will tell the story and share pictures after I take care of things home/farm/kennel/business -wise.
We are OK. I believe in being prepared, so we had everything we needed on board. It was mostly an inconvenience. The biggest thing we can complain about is Clint lost a day of vacation time. :-)
