Expedition

I was driving alone from Kuopio to Oulu, and this point looked like an easy grab if I would make a small detour. It was located nearly next to the road, so I would just park as near as possible and take a very quick walk to the woods. Well, in the summer it would have worked that way, but winter makes things difficult.

I went and drove past the point, observing that there was a wider part in the road in the slope near the hashpoint. All right, I will turn the car around and park there, I thought. On the way back, I was not paying attention and drove past it, but no trouble, I will just reverse down the hill and steer to the wide part which was to the left of me. That was the big mistake – I was overconfident and took a too big risk. The rear corner of the car clipped the wall of snow next to the road and got stuck. The car would not move backwards, and there was not enough grip under the tyres to able to move forward. Of course, I did not have a shovel with me, so I started digging the snow away with my hands. I was confident that I would eventually get the car free as it was not badly stuck, but thankfully I did not need to dig very long until a local man appeared by car. He went and turned his car around, gave me a little pull and got me out of the snow.
