I have gotten stuck probably 10 times. From one side of my wheels going off

waving from down the trail. Another time I was trying to get real close to a

they would be pointing towards me at the corner. Finely a guy saw me. I was
so stuck he couldn't get me out, so he pulled his truck up behind me and
pushed me out. The worst one was while in my Permobil. The back broke at
it's Tilt hinge and back I fell to a flat position. I was out at a
restaurant when it happened. The most embarrassing one was getting stuck in
the mud going throw bushes trying to sneak into the golf course. I had to
flag down an old man golfing

binoculars to see me stuck in tracks and jumped in a truck to
