Default almost lost the truck this weekend

so this weekend i headed up north about 100 miles to up about 2145ft above sea level into the northern mountains of maine to my parents camp, so when i got up there i was driving down the road thinking it was plowed out, but really it was just packed down by snowmobilers, so when i realized this i tryed to turn around and head back to the closed plowed part. but i hit a soft spot in the snowly icey road and my truck fell in about 4ft of icey hard snow, i was stuck there with my girlfriend trying to dig myself out for about 5 hours, then around 4 i gave up and decide to break into my parents camp for because it was starting to get dark and really cold, really fast, so i left notes on my truck and spray painted lines showing where i was going, and brought a hammer to smash the glass to the front door of there camp, so i made it there and spend the night, and today i heard a groomer riding down the near by trail that cut on to the road, so i ran to stop it, when i stopped it the guy was more then welcome to help, it took us about 6 hours to get my truck up on top of the snow instead of 4 ft down in it, it almost came to the point where i almost had to leave it there untill late spring when the snow went away, only damage down was a burnt out tail light, and well the window to my parents camp, but there was a spare door so its all fixed now
