Yeah...the dent...
I was trying to get one last truck load of wood in at dusk a couple days before Christmas.
This is a notorious spot for me to back into, having previously cost me a passenger side mirror once, and another time backing up in a little bit of snow I managed to slide into a position I couldn't go back (too slick) and I couldn't go forward (tree) -- until I move a 1/4 cord of wood 100' by hand to put enough weight in the truck to back up the hill and straighten out.
I have half a load in the bed, light is fading fast, I want the wood brought down before the holiday weekend when I wouldn't be around. I put down the cap window (note it's tinted) and back into that bad spot to get some seasoned wood I had up there.
I watched my side mirrors damn carefully backing up.
Never saw the oak I backed into until I walked around to see what I hit.
That location is on my spring to-do list to make a drive-through spot I don't have to back into anymore.
