    WOW...I have seen our horse trailer close to that position before. Last year in fact, I had got out to shut a gate behind us...it was on a sharp incline but no curve. This has never happened before but the truck died and my dear husband had it in gear...I was just going to be a sec...no power no brakes. He had the good sense to use the emergency brake but it took 50 feet or so for him to figure out what was going on. You can bet I was scrambling to get out of the way! What "adventures" we have as we travel along. ;)
    I don't know how the guy got into this position, I don't even know how he could have driven that far up the mountain in a pickup let alone with a trailer attached! It was so very steep and had such sharp turns - we were in a peanut car and I was worried!
    Foxfire was up the road nearly a mile and I would have walked BUT it was extremely hot, I was not in climbing shoes and the road was dirt, the incline was insane, and I'm old, not crazy. Where he was stuck backed right over a real steep down hill too. There was an electric gate there, too that locked up Foxfire when no one was up there I presume - he ran into the post that held the operating keypad. There were people on the upside of the road around the curve waiting for an emergency crew to get him out of there. Hubs thought he could squeeze around him, but the ditches on the roadside were 6 feet deep - no way did I want him to try.

    Hubs promised to take me back thru there since we accidentally stumbled on the real Foxfire site.
    We did the same thing a few yrs ago on a weekend trip thru N GA. We were going to Helen cus he wanted to show me how the town was set up like a Bavarian village. On the way we came across the official Cabbage Patch Hospital, where the cabbage patch dolls are born. I didnt think there was a real cabbage patch hospital!
    My MIL made cabbage patches - I just had to stop! What a place! dolls everywhere, a nursery, a premie room, an office where you could go in and make an adoption with papers and everything; and every hr you went to the mother cabbage tree and could watch a new baby born. The gallery could shout out the new name once they said it was a boy or a girl, clerks running around dressed like nurses, lol.
    Poor hubs! He was the only guy in the building!!!

    here is the down hill shot of this trailer. Our car is parked at the very bottom and hubs is talking with the Foxfire help way back - you can see the rut he dug sliding back down the hill at the curve. sharet
