Maiden Voyage/stranded motorist

Picked up the new bike (Spearfish salsa) from the shop Wednesday
And just got out for a maiden voyage. With snow still
On the trail, the single track isn’t safe for at least for me to ride
Another cyclist had turned back due the deeper snow
At higher elevations. At the snowmobile crossroad
I heard a bizarre engine revving sound and altered course.
I found a guy from Kansas with his Newfie stuck up to his axle
In snow on a very steep part of the trail well out of cell
Service and unable to dial 911...After digging him out
By hand and lining the entry tracks with birch branches, rocks, leaves
Dirt and pine needles, I tromped down each of the tracks.
I then grabbed hold of the roof rack
Stood on the back bumper and rode him safely out...
Perhaps at least this guy will drive friendly when
Encountering other cyclists in the future...
