Toyota Rav4 POS stuck on beach
We had a storm Wed. night . The owner of the Rav4 needed to get to Longbeach but there was a tree across his drivway . H lives on the beach so he went through the dunes and headed south . This week has seen some of the highest tides of the year . We had to drive up into the dunes in several places to get down the beach as the waves were hitting the base of the dunes . I thought his SUV was a 4x4 but on closer examination found it to be a 2 wheeler . I have no idea what made him think this would make it down the beach . WE had to pull it 1/2 mile down the beach to Cranberry approach . He tried to get over a sand drift that had a log buried under it . It took 11 freakan hours to download this 5 minutes of vid
