[QUOTE="AKCoverMan, post: 1053840, member: 17867"] There is a resi on a route I cover out in the sticks that has a long one lane drive about 200 yards with both sides lined with trees. The problem is about 2/3 of the way down is a diagonal tree branch that a car or even a pickup could drive under but not a package car. The first time I delivered here I tried going down the driveway figuring whoever lives there has to turnaround somewhere.. generally these drives open up at the main house. Then I got to the tree branch.. no choice had to try long back to get out. This drive is just barely package car width with deep soft snow on both sides. Sadly one wheel found snow and was sucked in and I was stuck, 45 mins waiting for the tow truck to yank me out. After that I always parked on the road and hiked in. I carry a portable spotlight (million cdp) which I keep on and make noise while walking down the driveway in the dark never knowing what wildlife might be in the forest on either side of the driveway. It's the only time I really wish I was armed on road. [/QUOTE]
