So.. Yesterday at 8am I picked up my Uhaul and trailer to go pick up my car plus a few items from the in-law's house in Wasilla to bring back home to Anchorage.
It was a very nice drive out, with clear skies and a nice clear highway.
Once out to Wasilla my brother in-law and I decided to pick up the car first to save some time when loading the Uhaul with the little things that we need from the parents house. Soon after picking up the car we got stuck on a side road in the middle of nowhere. After 20 minutes of trying to get the Uhaul free and completely failing. We bit the bullet and called for a tow.
The tower quickly towed us out and even offered to follow us until we made it back on the main road just in case, so I highly recommend Happy Hooker Towing in Wasilla.
We Started out journy another 20 minutes to the in-law's house and on our way there we got stuck on another side road just 5 minutes from the house.. After 10 minutes of trying to get free AGAIN an older gentleman spotted us and pulled us out with his Ford 350. I we thanked him numerous times and cursed having a RWD van with bald rear tires in one of the most snowy/icy areas ever.
After being delayed almost 2 hours because of being stuck, waiting, and other numerous things we got the van to the DRIVEWAY of our parents house and got stuck for a THIRD TIME. At this point I was just pissed we kept getting stuck mostly because of lack of traction. Luckily the land owner's sons were outside plowing with their four-wheels and helped us break free for the final time which took another 40 minutes.
Fast forward about another 2 hours and we were finally back in Anchorage with the car safely at home after much anger and irritation.
I will soon post pictures up of the car and the interior tear-down process.
