well maybe he wanted to go hunting and was trying find a good place to hide he failed so he can try again next company me personally i prefer fishing but i imagine trying throw a line out while driving 60+ mph kinda hard to do so normally call cab on day off use my telescopic rod closes up next to nothing and can reel in big ### red fish the rod and reel when pulled out is 8ft but when closed up fits in a grocery bag i throw a few hooks and weights my homemade bait and good to go.

Well I have taken bullracks on roads in the hills that look very similar to what can be seen in the picture... The difference though, is that I had a reason to be on such a road... Cattle had to be hauled in and out of the summer range.
Yes, I have seen bullracks stuck like that, and worse, doing exactly what they were supposed to be doing. But yet again they had a reason for being there.
That frieght hauler obviously had NO reason to be in the hills. It completely boggles my mind why someone would take an asphalt queen truck onto a road like that... SMHnot4hire, JolliRoger, WesternPlains and 2 others Thank this. -
This reminds me...I recently had a nightmare where I accidentally drove my truck into Zion National Park lol
SoulScream84, WesternPlains and JoeyJunk Thank this. -

I doubt if any relatively new truck GPS would have let him get there. More than likely he was using Google maps.
Back in 05 when GPS was still a new thing, I had one of the first Garmin units in my personal vehicle and drove a few hours to visit a friend in Klamath Falls OR. When I got to town, it took me through several rural neighborhoods, and then over a fire road, through the city cemetery, and finally to his house. I didn't use one again until I started driving truck, and always with a weary eye.JolliRoger Thanks this. -
