Thought I’d take a drive up north to Nottawasaga and walk through some Niagara Escarpment canyons. Didn’t pan out since the trails are heavily snowed in and the snowshoes I got were a fail. They didn’t even stay on my feet. Why does Canadian Tire even sell this stuff if it doesn’t work?

On the way back, I took a different route. By the time I got far, it was too late to turn around. It’s primarily a summer only route and is closed off from December to April and is used by snowmobilers.

The car did fine on majority of the road. There were some parts where it was tricky, like around the hairpin turns that felt like they were going to flip my car onto its side or that I’d drive off the road into a very steep ditch or going through a creek.

She made out fine. It was the end of the road that was the issue. At the junction, the road had a huge layer of snow, the right hand side had a crazy 30deg angle so I shifted to the left. Well shifting to the left just pulled me further into the left side into the snowbank which got me stuck.

All of a sudden three snowmobilers showed up. They tried to push me out of the area but just further pushed me 2 ft into the snowbank. They ended off peacing off.

Then an Amazon driver showed up and offered to help. After a couple of minutes of struggles, we decided to hook up a chain to his pickup truck and my vehicle. Ended up working though got worried about my control arm getting damaged. Need to figure out where the GMC Terrain’s attachment point is. I guess that’s something every Canadian should learn in the event they get stuck and need help from someone.

Super thankful for this individual helping out!

I’ll have to download the video for shits and giggles and post it as a learning opportunity, ha.
