Didn't Frank Lloyd Wright build a house like that? Except for getting in the garage I think it's a great spot!

The axles are great. You may need to reattach some of them...

What a great way to take care of that nagging tail sag issue.

Couldn't you have just taken it to a dump station to do that?

That wouldn't have happened if you'd had your running gear balanced.

I think the TV is underpowered. You should have tried a ramp and taken a running jump over that bridge-barrier....

I want to see "the rest of the story." The recovery should be very interesting.

Anybody added a 3rd axle to a tandem job? Bet it wouldn'ta happened if I had 3.
I have no clue on how they resolved this issue. There were only 3 photos and no story in an email passed along by my mom -- only one amongst many emails on a myriad of 'fun' or inspirational subjects. But I think the tow vehicle was up to the task...

Obviously, they didn't have 12" brakes. If so, it never would have happened.

what were the weight distribution bar ratings? ;-) it looks like a good reason to have your rig weighed.

That's a decent size river down there. Just like an ice house, cut a hole in the floor and pass a line down.
