Kentucky Lake - Bob to the rescue

We saw this boat sailing down the lake as we motored to Kenlake Marina.
We were anchored out in Ginger Bay and had taken Wicket to shore for a walk.  As we looked around we thought it appeared that no one had driven down to this area all year.  We were sure it was a very remote area.  By about 5:00p.m.
 two young fellas came driving onto this point to do some fishin', but the driver was distracted by our boat and dropped the front right tire into a steep ravine.  After watching them struggle for a while, Bob went over in the dinghy to offer assistance or the use of his cell phone.  After putting their weight on the rear left bumper produced no results, they called for help with Bob's phone.  Bob came up with an idea to try getting it out with a log and their weight and so they did get it out of the ravine, but the front bumper was crunched.  I could hear the driver say, after they got it out of the ravine, "Bob, you are the MAN!"  Eric and Ryan both shook Bob's hand and called their friend to say they were fine & no longer needed help.
BTW... Bob tells me now, that this was a father & son team.

Below is the video I shot of the jeep fiasco.

Bob takes after his dad - he could do anything too. Good job.
