 whitestar505Poblems I ve had over the years on the first pull out of the season.
 Snow was piled high one year and I couldn t pull straight out and the bank damaged the aluminum side of the PU.
 Like some else posted we had tires frozen to the ground and ripped one up one year.
 One year it was like you have; mud 2 foot deep. We tried using a chain and the TV about 30 feet away on solid ground. Didn t work right so we bit the bullet and hired a tow truck to pull it out. That way if the trailer got damaged the tow truck insurance paid. It did and they did make good on the repairs.
 Several times I loaded up my snowblower and blew out roads into people s back yards so we could get trailers out for them.
 " Spring break"  around here is more likely to be " mud break"  or " snow break" [:D]
 
 Funniest thing (if it happens to someone else) was getting a call from a member of the extended family that said his roof wouldn t go up. Seems he tried to raise it with about 2 foot of ice on it. He figured it would be easy to raise the roof and then start the furnace to melt it off. We ended up chipping ice for 4 hours and the following day replaced 2 cables and one lifting post that the weight of the ice damaged.
