And I thought our driveway was bad...

I like the last one, the machine that broke through the ice. It appears the engine may still be running... the exhaust stack flap is up as if there is exhaust exiting.

You may be right... note that a pair of lights are still on too.

I don't see any footprints in the snow $:-\$

empty stringer ale, brewed at my house in 2007, with image of my truck on a tow strap also from 2007

Back home when they did the winter crossings across Lakes Winnipeg and Manitoba early in the season the dozer operators walked behind with a couple of ropes used to adjust their direction of travel. That looks like a grader though and any I've looked at had steering wheels.

QuoteDipnetters at the mouth of the Kasilof River sprang into action on Thursday afternoon to help one of their own, but not in time to keep a pickup truck mired in the mud on the north side of the river from being swamped by the incoming tide.

"The guy was backing down at low tide to launch a boat from a trailer. He paused and looked at it, but then backed down further and got stuck," said Betty Daggett, of Kenai, who watched the whole event from start to finish, and popped off a few pictures as well.

I believe it is a high track cat dozer. Graders would have the engine in the rear, behind the cab. The tracks behind it looks to me like they were made by tires tho. Maybe from the rescue vehicle?? Looks a little suspicious. As you zoom in the dozer becomes pixelated at a faster rate then the back ground. The dozer has a white line tracing around it like it was pasted.. I think something when in the drink but not that machine.
