Most cumbersome recovery

It's one thing to be in the ditch but with such constraints...  It plays with your mind. But we were able to keep cool and successfully come out, and in good time.

It was a quick drive just after work: 2 cars, 5 people. Two of them were completely new to the desert (hence the videos :)

Sorento gets stuck trying to avoid a ditch.
After all efforts it is unable to move without a tug. But the rope is not long enough for the F150 to pull from flat ground. The F150 rocks in the ditch to tug the Sorento enough that it can move again.

But now the F150 is dependent on the Sorento to climb up before it can rock again to be out of the ditch. Sorento half rocks to a height enough for the F150 to half rock itself out.

Then the Sorento rocks itself out.

It was a good experience...  Keeping the cool was so important. I think we were all a little agitated but none shared it and hence seemed quite confident. We took it all one step at a time.

This is a lot more interesting than the regular desert safari...
