This happened a few weeks ago near Telluride (TEHL-you-ride), and now it\u2019s happened again. Interesting sight for some hikers trying to reach the summit of a 14\u2019er in Park County\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They found a truck near that summit over the weekend. Apparently a driver tried to get there by driving up the hiking trail, where there aren\u2019t supposed to be any vehicles, and got it stuck approaching the top of Mount Lincoln. The Colorado 4 by 4 Rescue and Recovery group says the driver got his GMC pickup stuck on the 27th<\/sup> of August, not realizing the narrow trail wasn\u2019t a road. His truck quit climbing in a field of loose rocks known as \u201cscree,\u201d and he had to hike down to the town of Alma to call for assistance. A couple days later, 8 volunteers from the recovery group hiked up to see how they could help, and try to tow it down. They had to abandon their effort with the pickup too badly stuck. Then after 6 days on the mountain, the vehicle\u2019s owner contacted a commercial firm to go recover it, and they did. No word on how much it cost him, but it might\u2019ve been a pretty healthy down payment on another car.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This happened a few weeks ago near Telluride (TEHL-you-ride), and now it\u2019s happened again.
