Subject:      Almost lost the Westy today!

Last night in the fog and rain I backed out of my
steep driveway which was cut on the side of a
mountain.  I went off the driveway and started
sliding down the incline.  Well I ended with two
right wheels and half the van on the driveway,
the other half going down the mountain.  I would
estimate it to have been tilted 35 to 40 degrees
by the morning.  This morning it had sunk more
into the incline due to an all night rain.  AAA
thought it was a gonner but managed to save it by
pulling it forward down the driveway with a
couple of helpers holding it down.  It was very
intense.  I was a nervous wreck.  Saved...thank
god...
