two trips... almost a feeling of deja-vu
Both these trips occured one after the other...

first trip: on a Boy Scout Jamboree to New Zealand.
Incident: When on the South Island Tour bus got bogged/slid slowly off the road on a trip up a mountainside dirt road. everyone had to bail out to take the pressure it was having on a couple of trees that were stopping the bus from rolling downhill.

second trip: School excursion out to Whitecliffs (Broken Hill, Australia).
Incident: after a short rain we all jumped in the bus to go checkout the local solar powerplant. The bus slid into the inside of a corner of a dirt road and ended up bogged. A couple of locals helped out by using a modified ute (the true beefy paddock basher design with a rollcage!) and a little datsun ute - both daisychained to the bus and slipping and sliding about like crazy!
