LOL. What would you have done if there was no place like the culdsac?

Shot the guy and buried him in the back yard? It would have been a long
way to back out.

Further off topic, I went up to a little alpine lake one spring on the
bike. There was a campground and a road all way but I hit drifted snow
about half a mile from the end. I parked the bike and walked the rest of
the way. When I came out, I noticed fresh tire tracks in the snow where
I'd parked the bike that made it about 25 yards into the drift. Trying
to break through drifts is sort of a spring time sport around here so I
didn't think much of it. Then I looked down the road and saw a pickup
towing a camp trailer slowly backing down. This is a steep, one lane,
not very good forest road with about a 500' drop off on one side. I had
just about enough room to squeeze by on the bike. The guy said 'This is
the stupidest thing I've ever done.' and I had to agree. He had about a
half mile to go before there was a place wide enough to turn around and
the sun was going down. There wasn't anything I could do to help so I
continued on.

Wow. On the one time I had a trailer and headed down a dead end
street , I stopped when I was still partly in the intersection and it
still took me 10 minutes to back up 8 feet so I could go the other
way. Backing a half mile with a trailer, my gosh.

Could he have disonnected the trailer, turned it and the car around
and reconnected? Assuming he could lift the tongue. I know
trailers can be very heavy.
