Kind of a 'memorable moment' I'm sure, and A helpless feeling while it's happening. I'm glad to hear you were't hurt. About twenty years ago I went to the local gravel pit with a farm wagon behind my pickup to get some gravel. After the wagon was loaded I made the mistake of taking a really steep shortcut back to the scale. I got to the top and when the pickup's front wheels got over the hump they spun out and so did the rear wheels, and pretty soon I was being dragged backwards by the wagon, kind of in slo-mo. I had no options, I was going backwards and I had to make the best out of a bad deal quickly. It was about 100 yards back to the bottom and I somehow backed the wagon back down using the mirrors, using the brakes just enough to slow me down but not hard enough to lock up. This lane was graded up on the sides so if the wagon would have gone crooked I probably would have rolled it and there was no chance to stop and pull up to straighten out. Boy was my heart a 'racin by the time I got to the bottom but I didn't notice until everything stopped. Jim
