    Operation Golden Nugget: The Movie
    After a season of gold mining, Ed didn’t know he’d be walking away from his Suzuki LJ20 for over 40 years. Trapped behind a landslide on a forgotten road deep within the Sierra Nevada mountains, the little golden Suzuki rests nestled between the trees. It waits through the seasons for a friendship to form that can defy all odds. A friendship that can challenge the mountain.
    Now the seasoned adventurer along with his team of friends venture into the Sierra Nevada mountains for the off road recovery of a lifetime. Sealing a friendship that will outlast time itself.

Also took my flatbed up an open mountain road in the middle of winter to rescue a Subaru Brat that found a ditch and tore one side of the front suspension out. I did get that one out. Sometimes it takes a lot to help people, but for the most part it's worth it. I do leave some people in the ditch every now and then though. They've had a chance at a free pull but ruined it because they're ungrateful assholes that deserve a $1000+ tow bill for something I would have accomplished for free in three minutes.
