OK, I took some pictures this morning to take down to the tow shop.

As it is with pictures, everything is a lot steeper in real life than shows on the pictures.
The first picture shows the hill I was plowing. After attempts to get out, the truck now sets right where it starts going uphill. The hill is
really steep. The whole road is narrow, wide enough for just one car. To make the hill less steep. the guy who made the road elevated with fill over the gully at the bottom. The drop off on either side at the bottom is roughly 5 or 6' deep and filled with drifted snow. It is actually a good thing it is high centered, as if it were a foot or so more off the road, the truck probably would roll on it's side.
The road has about 2" of solid ice underneath the ***** frost. The road was plowed with a tractor after the truck got stuck. (My neighbor is still afraid to drive his 4wd Jeep SUV up his driveway, although my Toyota Tacoma went right up it this morning. As it warms later in the day, I might not make it up.).
The rear differential is firmly planted on the ground and neither set of rear wheels are touching the ground. The front is just buried, setting mostly on compacted snow, not the ground. Perhaps if all the snow melted it might still roll.
No need to call the State Patrol, Oosik. This is about 1/4 mile down a private driveway that is at the end of 2 miles of private road.
