This weekend Marc, Dave's brother, talked Dave into bringing over the 4 wheelers to ride over at Pineview Dam. Dave took Hunter, and Marc brought up his girlfriend Randee and friend Casey.
They had fun riding along the beach and playing in the snow. Dave even let Hunter drive.
Randee rolled her 4 wheeler.
They were having a good old time, that is until Marc decided to take the 4 wheeler for a swim. He rode acrossed a piece of iced over lake (which probably wasn't the brightest thing to do, lol) and didn't make it all the way acrossed. He got out to the middle and broke through the ice, 4 wheeler and all. It was deep enough that Marc went all the way under and so did the 4 wheeler. Can you see the tires sticking out of the water?
They rushed Marc back to the house to warm up, get him into some dry clothes, and to figure out how they were going to get the 4 wheeler out of the lake. They decided to get some rope and a pick axe and sent Marc back into the water to tie the rope around the tire of the 4 wheeler so they could pull it out. After a 2nd time of being completely in the water, they rushed Marc back to the house to get him warm. By this time Jerry and Darinda got home and found out what had happened. Darinda was shoked that they let Marc get back into the freezing cold water, but they said they had to get the 4 wheeler out. However, Marc did not want to get back into the freezing cold water a third time. So they got a wet suit from the firestation and sent Marc back into the water to break a trail of ice so they could pull the 4 wheeler out. And also to flip the 4 wheeler over so it was on its wheels when they pulled it out.
Well after several hours, they got the 4 wheeler out. Yeah! Although, I highly doubt it is ever going to work again, lol. Hopefully Marc has learned a lesson today. NEVER drive a 4 wheeler on a lake that isn't completely frozen over (Pineview is only frozen on the edges). Well, maybe he should just never drive a 4 wheeler acrossed the ice period. LOL
