5 That big dump truck and the backhoe behind it were parked by a gas line repair contractor whose workers have gone home for the day. They make an already tight corner a no-go.
6 This trailer has a serious lack of ground clearance. Neighbor for scale. :)
7 When he tried to back out the way he came these steel plates were getting hung up on the trailer.
8 These things weigh 2-3,000 lbs each and were really getting pushed around.
9 No bueno.
10 You can see open trench in there. About 5' deep and about 18" wide.
11 Another view of the lack of ground clearance. This street is about 10% grade on this block, which is just another challenge.
12 When he decided to park for the night, he had to get to the other side, which meant trying really hard to turn the cab. The street tree lost a few branches and the cab lost a rear view mirror.
