On the side of the road...

i ran those years ago in my twenties, when my boss was training me he said you just crawl right down in the bottom and track, after about 50 feet the right side fell in and the boom landed on a privacy fence behind the mcdonalds here, he was ticked he said i dont know why they wanted this ditch cleaned out anyway, lol i said steve hell theres an excavator in it theres no way water can drain he loosened up and smiled. anyway it was a little 312 cat had to bring our 790 out to get it out, that was my first day of training and ill never forget it, anyway running equipment something can always happen and always in the bottom of a ditch like this guy was you might be able to walk on it and not leave a print but get down there with some weight and the bottom can fall out. its still funny but in all honesty the guy that got stuck is probably a skilled operator
