ℹ️About the episode:
Never a dull moment! We managed to get our Ford F450 and Grand Design Momentum 399 stuck in the wet grass just outside of Sandusky Ohio. The rain this season has been relentless and our timing of checking into a grass site (on low ground) while having two days of non-stop rain was not great. We tried everything we could to get unstuck before giving up and paying the wrecker to pull us out. There is a silver lining... we've avoided several grass sites this season with our new found experience of checking the weather and looking for other options when picking sites. I believe the quote is, "nothing beats experience".
We also enjoyed Cedar Point theme park and staying on-site, despite the rates. We've been told to visit Cedar Point in Sandusky about 1,000 times so we were sure not to miss it!

Just for clarification, we have towing insurance, just not Good Sam, which was the only insurance this guy took (We didn't call him). We could submit the bill to our insurance company and now this video has reminded me to do that!
It's always good to have several options when trouble comes. You guys do a great job of covering your bases. I've enjoyed following you and wish you safe journeys!
I’d like to suggest a towing front bar winch it’s a staple here in Ausie and also in South Africa as well
Does your truck have a locking rear axle ? That's also a honking big trailer.
@@lumaprince8309 I was going to suggest that very thing! Would only take a couple of self extractions to pay for itself for sure. Also it would give you some piece of mind when setting up on soft ground in some remote location.
Wayne S yea hook up a snatch block and strap into a tree and winch away
"Go back to the park! Mom and dad were REALLY planning on you being gone for the evening"
Blue Boats oh sh*t here we go again
Trish gets the 17” blackstone grill instead of Mark’s preferred 22” grill. Trish: “we’re downsizing!” *while standing in a Momentum 5th Wheel. Love it 😂
Downsizing from a house😉
And plus has anyone seen or tried any of Mark’s cooking?
@@msharrel - your comment bodes ill...
Next time you get emergency cash, get 2 extra $100 bills fold them twice and put one behind your driver's license & have Trish put the other one behind her driver's license. Don't use it except in extreme emergency situation (like repairs/tows). Don't let kids talk you out of it. Don't spend it frivously thinking you will replace it because you won't. Hubby and I have used this method many years (we're much older than you guys) & still have our emergency stash which has come in handy a few times since we RV as well. Keep your normal emergency cash where kids see it. NEVER let them know about your real stash! Lol Sorry you got stuck. Kudos for keeping calm! Love your channel. We always look forward to your shared Sunday evening adventure. Stay safe!
we do the same thing. I friend gave me this pointer when we took our cross country RV trip many years ago. Some gas stations will limit the amount you can charge on your credit card. Came in handy a couple of times.
I had a rig that big for about 2 years (mine was 39.5 ft) then I HAD to downsize to simplify my process and regain my sanity. I now drive a 30 ft. Airstream and couldn't be happier. It's not necessarily the size, but the weight and height that caused me angst. HOWEVER: To each their own. I LOVE your videos and have been a follower since day 1! Keep it up!
Getting stuck is just a reality. Thank God for the memories of getting out. They will TRULY last forever!
Regarding Trish’s comment, I tell my employees this every day. I learned long ago, from a small business owner, that the one thing you should give away every day is customer service. A smile, a “where can I put this for you?”, or “How can I help you with your situation?” goes farther than the best prices in town.
Glad you four enjoyed Ohio. We love living here with our four distinct seasons, no hurricanes, no sharks, and moderate climate this truly is a great place to grow a family. Nice shot of the Valravan sign, a good friend of mine built that, first time I have seen it all together.
Youve made it to Ohio! Im right down the street in Sandusky as well! You all are the reason my wife and I got into RVing with our first trailer. Your videos are amazing and help alot with all the tips! See you on the road!!!!
"we're downsizing"
*standing in a massive toy hauler and a F450*
300 sq ft is pretty downsized....
The Good .. The Bad ... The Ugly...
Yinz just keep Helping Everyone Learn . Thanks for continuing to Educate us. Stay safe and blessings from Gettysburg.
Just talked to some friends of ours and they are staying in your Flagstaff house this weekend. They love it. Actually the quote is " This place is Badass!" His wife wants to buy it... We had recommended it to them a few months back when they were looking for a good place to stay with their family for the weekend.
I love your show...have watched since season 1....watching the kids grow and the addition of Charlie....so good!!!! The only painful times are the outside shots of your new RV. it’s just TOO BIG for my sensibilities. I hope you love it. I personally can’t wait until you downsize. Continue having wonderful adventures and sharing them. I’ll hang in there in hopes of more comfortable times ahead for ME. It’s all about me you know.
Soon. It's a good comparison tho.
Welcome to the Buckeye State!
I worked at Cedar Point the summer of '94.
The reason there weren't so many smiles when I worked there was,
I worked over 70hrs a week (6 days from Dawn to after closing, 1 day off a week),
minimum wage ($4.25), no overtime pay (seasonal).
Get a winch for the Ford, then you can charge $175 (or wine / beer) to unstick other people.
And get yourself unstuck
You two are always so calm. My husband would have been throwing anything he could get his hands on and turning the air blue. Enjoy your channel so much.
The 17 inch Blackstone is great for steaks and everything else. And, you can get a cover for it. Have had one for several months for home and RV and we love it!
You are so lucky you got to video your rides. A few years back we were there and it was my sons first time on a roller coaster. Somehow they seen I was taking pics of my son as we were going up the first hill and literally stopped the ride. We all thought there was a problem with the ride until the employee climbing up the hill reached our cart and asked for my phone. We would have had to leave the park unless I locked it and surrendered it to them only to get it back when the ride was over. When we got off the ride we were greeted by 2 security guards and a park representative requesting that I delete all video and pics from the ride or be escorted out of the park.
We had the same wet grass issue this summer...luckily two F450 duallies daisy-chained our pusher out! Loved your comment about the experience losing its fun factor after an hour 😜
Cedar Point is the best roller coaster amusement park ever!!! I grew up on the shore of Lake Erie, just west of Cleveland. Great place! Thanks for sharing!
Just information in case you want to get better tires before winter and if you go on the beach. Toyo has m920 in 225/70 19.5 that are G rated 14 ply. They are a lot better than the highway tires. Another upgrade you may want to add would be a winch and keep block tackle a good pulley in your tool crate. The Continental tires you have should last a long time on the highway, G rated tires are normally hard tires and last for a while. Good luck hope you do not get in slippy mud again soon.
Love Cedar Point. Last time I was there we stayed at the RV park back in ‘99 (between my sophomore and junior years in high school) in a Coleman Fleetwood pop-up tent that my parents had finally decided to buy. Can’t wait to take our girls in the next couple of years.
Some fun moments and some nail biter moments in this video. Congrats to Carson...NICE CATCH!!!!
Mark I wish you and Trish had time to answer questions posted...on each of your posts, I read the questions/comments. I enjoy reading your answers. I envy your lifestyle!!!. Wow! 219,000 subscribers!!! Congrats!!!
Been there, been stuck, just like you.
You should be carrying a tow strap, because you never know when you'll need it. You were on pretty flat ground there. You could put a hitch receiver on the front and carry a winch mounted to a hitch shank. Wouldn't have to be terribly strong to get you out of a situation like that, especially if you had a snatch block. The Class A could have pulled you out easily too.
This was probably the only time I wish I was a KYD insider. It would have been fun to see you at CP. Steel Vengeance is by far the best coaster in the world.
TRACTION - Great video as usual. I haven't read all the comments, maybe someone has covered this already, if not I'll share my experiences on heavy rigs and soft ground. #1 is tires- Tires make a huge difference. No doubt you have All Season Highway tires. You need All-Terrain tires. No need for mud tires on your rig, but All terrain tires will make a huge difference compared to highway tires. All my old highway tires did was dig a hole. Switched to all-terrains and never looked back. #2 boards never work on grass/mud. Tires have no grip on wood, especially if they are wet. The wood has no way of anchoring to the ground and your truck will spit them out, if you get traction. #3 If you must use a traction device don't put it next to the tire. Your truck doesn't have the momentum to climb up the traction device. Best to dig out under the tire and slide the traction device under the tire. In your video your truck couldn't climb up the boards, the tires didn't have traction to move forward or backward, and then you placed a small climb in the path. #4 You will find yourself in a similar situation one day. Learn from this and make corrections, upgrades. #5 Tow upgrades, All-Terrain tires and an electric winch with snatch block and tree straps. I would mount a receiver hitch to the front of the truck. This way the winch can be stored until needed. Plus you could mount it to your rear receiver should the situation arise.
I love roller coasters. Here's a tip I always where shorts with zipper pockets Everytime no matter what.
I live about 4-5 hours away from cedar point and we used to rent the cabins from Thursday to Sunday with about 7 of us every year. It was more cost effective that way. We just bought our travel trailer last year and thought it would be nice to take it there instead of the cabins but for that price a night we might be better to rent again. Lol. We have our trailer winterized at yogi bear in Pierceton Indiana. Elkhart is one road away from me lol. Sad we missed you guys
So glad you unstuck! I went to cedar pointe myself a few times and loved it. Great amusement park. Sad it rained a bit while you were there. It rained o us too when I was there and then the sun cane out at end of day. But it was so fun. Harvest Host looks fun too. Tasting wine and seeing vineyards. That’s beautiful.
Sherri
I live in Ohio and Cedar Point is a great place, but I love Dollywood a million times more. Go there and you will have so much fun AND get smiles. Great park, great food, great people.
Aww, I did my Public Relations internship there in 2009. Such a great amusement park! We have season passes there now and want to give the campground a try!
Cedar point was a lot of fun 20 yrs ago. Can't imagine what it is like now. The getting stuck, not so much fun. Great videos. Enjoy them a lot.
We were at Cedar Point at the same time!! My husband and I were arguing about whether that was you or not (he was right). We had such a great time glad to see you did too.. Midge Flies blah
And in her defense, Trish does "most" of the cooking and look at her grill! She knows what she needs. Great video! You guys ROCK together!
You own a FORD. FORD will pay to tow your truck when it's stuck, and they will also take care of your RV. As a owner of a F450 that had to be towed several times and FORD covered it everytime. They also brought a second tow truck to handle the RV. That is important info to remember. They cover you for at least as long as your factory warranty or longer. Use what you have all ready paid for.
You're right. And I also had other insurance I could have called, but that tow truck was already there. Too easy with no waiting. I could submit to get paid back too.
@@KeepYourDaydream I agree, way to easy to use someone already on sight. Just wanted to make sure watchers know there tow vehicle may have the coverage. I personaly don't pay for the service when the manufaturer will cover. Plus my experience is that the maufacturer has much better coverage. Plus they are taken by more companies.
I forgot how magical pulling up to Cedar Point was for me, thanks for the memory.
Watching tonight with my kids and all I can think is y’all need to be on cable television!
Hi, just an observation when getting towed/pulled by someone else. Do Not use the tow ball for the tow strap. Use the pin hole on the receiver instead. Tow balls are designed for vertical load not horizontal/lateral loads. The tow balls have been know to breakoff under pressure and fly back and destroy everything in its path.
You mentioned that you don’t use your Blackstone to grill steaks. My husband convinced me to let him cook our thick steaks on the Blackstone (What??? And not use the charcoal grill? Blasphemous!!). But, he threw the temp on high, got a great sear on those things and .... Best . Steaks . EVER! I highly recommend it😊. Safe Travels
GREAT CATCH Carson! That is funny!! LOL! You guys make my Sunday nights! Thanks for sharing. Charlie is sure growing fast. What a good boy he is.
Good one Marc. Now for your net video blog let’s make one on how to NOT to get stuck in the first place. I think that would go great with this one. Safe travels my friend.
Way too sensible :)
Cedar Point is one of those places where it helps to put yourself in a vacation mindset. You know, where good judgment and logic go out the window because it’s a vacation. Name me another time you’d spend $10 on a reusable cup and consider it a good deal 😁. We stayed in the same row at Lighthouse Point in 2017, when they were converting the coaster into Steel Vengeance. Love your videos and apologies that our Ohio June weather got you stuck.
Was at Cedar Point last weekend and was annoyed that Steel Vengeance Staff made me lock up my wallet. Guess I am glad they did. Also, they are adding a lot of improved sites with nicer charcol grills and patio sets. A big bonus to the Cedar Point Campground the location and being able to walk out and eat in the RV and be back in quickly. It does give you a good reduction in overall cost and is a lot less greasy food in your stomach!
Glad you were able to get out of the grass. Sorry it cost you $175.00 but, welcome to Michigan. On the bright side it isn’t winter so, you don’t have to deal with the snow, that is why I left Michigan at age 18 & that was 48 years ago. Thanks for sharing your adventure I sure do enjoy your videos.
I have so many stories about Cedar Point. I love that place.
We grew up going to Cedar Point and almost the same thing happened to my husband, boyfriend at the time. His button popped off his pants and he raised his hand up and caught it!! I didn't know until we were off the ride, the Gemini. Crazy!!
My fiance and I were looking for a new puppy and happened to find the breeder you got Charlie from. We live 20 minutes from them, lol. Thanks for all the great videos.
Seeing this episode and the work it took to get unstuck definitely showcases the benefit of having the turn radius of a fifth wheel.
I know this video is about 2yrs ago , but I watched your video at the Tampa RV show when you and your son did the survey on Ford, Chev, and Dodge trucks. You were amazed that Ford wasn't on top. Chevy and GMC are the same for that survey. I had Fords for 40 yrs and decided to get a Chevy recently (2022) I love that Chevy. When you and your neighbors got stuck, that's soft grass for ya. Anyway if you had a Chevy you wouldn't have needed the Tow truck LOL couldn't pass this one up. 😅
You're in Ohio!! Those peanut butter things are "Buckeyes". Ohio- The Heart of it all!!
Yes buckeyes are the best!
Lonnie Dickerson the Football Team or Candy?
@@cindyvining7866 You know they both are the best!!
Beat me to it. I was going to say “Buckeyes”.
I’m watching this for the second time. Ok, Marc, I love watching you and your family travel. And I’m always positive because I think there’s enough negative people complaining. However, the grill Tricia got is needed just like all your additions to the truck or trailer. Just saying😍
The patience of Job ! Good job getting it out of the mud!
That's my "back yard"!! Great to see y'all out this way. Hope you enjoyed yourselves. Especially loved seeing you drive through the places I drive through daily. Stay safe, great videos, we enjoy watching all the time.
Trish is so beautiful and supportive in your full time RV life. You're a lucky and fortunate man. I had a beautiful wife of 31 years together. She didn't see or understand my dreams of RVING full time. Needless to say. I'm living my dream with a little 9lb fur baby. I miss my soon to be ex-wife but I'm happy in retirement.
Absolutely nailed it about customer service. Miserable staff at desk. Not coming back...
Sorry to see the stuck in the mucky grass problem. Maybe check out the equipment on Seek Adventure channel, he teaches how to get out of sand, mud etc., he maybe in 4x4 but I think the equipment he uses would be helpful. Plus, he's just fun to listen to, since he is in Australia. Travel safe, have fun, and thank you for taking us along with KYD.
You are getting good at backing that in, Marc! A real pro. You should take a turn with my semi. You want to try to maneuver a vehicle that is about 70-80 feet long, over all? I think you could do it!
I agree with the blasé attitudes at Cedar Point. Then I remind myself its NOT Disney so there really won’t be that magic. The pool and the fishing pier were very nice. Plus we had a tornado warning. The views of the storm were fantastic from the top of the camper.
We got stuck once too. Rig and 5th wheel were much smaller. The campground owner pulled us out with his tractor. Always something fun camping. Lol.
I have a 35.5' travel trailer and when I park on grass I carry 2 3/4" X 2' wide pieces of plywood so if I think it's going to rain my wheels on the trailer won't hold me back it has served me well grass/ loam will kill you every chance it can. So people after this great video now you know.
Mark, you maneuver that unit like a pro. I love the way the 5th wheels gel coat is a mirror finish. Safe travels you guys, can’t wait for next weeks vid.
If you have a little air compressor, letting some air out of the tires will help A LOT. With 80-110psi in the tires, they have traction on wet grass akin to a steel roller. At 50psi, they'll deform some, and not just spin in one place. Yes, this will even work for tires with highway tread. Better luck next time! :)
I didn't want to get that low with a load and then have to airup 6 tires. F450 has a 19.5 tire.
we own a campground in ohio when this happens we tow our guests out for free will even move that fth wheel out for you we use a cat loader
Jeff coldon what's the name of the campground you own in Ohio You gotta plug yourself on CZcams when you make comments.!🤔
Next time, take a couple 4x4 boards and Strap them through the rear holes on the wheels. Make sure they are about 2-3in longer then the wheel diameter or come close but dont hit the fenders. She will crawl right out. Can also mount an aftermarket bumper and winch rated at 16,000lbs with a pully system doubling the power. to 32,000lbs. Not hard to do. Also, old farm tip with the wood.
Hey cedar point, this is free info about asking people to be more positive. Some people are coming from states away and paying premium parking to check out your park tht they’ve heard so much about. Smiles are free.
A long time ago,part of Cedar Point used to be SeaWorld. We took our kids there in 2000. A few years later we stopped thinking SeaWorld was still there and was surprised to see it changed and was part of Cedar Point. We seen the roller coasters across the lake and wondered what the park was called. Ha!
I think you're thinking of Geagua Lake. They had a Sea World attached. They're both closed now.
So glad you went to Cedar Point!!!! I had asked you all a few months ago if you were going anywhere near Ohio, to go there...so excited to see your family go. You all are a fun family....Cedar Point is perfect for fun seekers!!! 😁
Put dual deflators on your dually so you can air down both tires. Been running them for years work great at the lake! I carry a VidAir air compressor and a winch in front just in case that doesn't work.
I drive a truck for a utility company, mud and snow are very similar, we chain up in mud just like we do in snow and your out! Front tires only first (that’s usually enough) rear too if really stuck
I love Charlie circling the island to 'get away' from you. So sweet.
Might behoove you to mount a winch to your front bumper so in situations like this, if you use a tree saver strap, hoot to a tree across the lane to pull your tires onto more solid ground. A good 12k winch might run a little pricey even though you can get a cheaper one for 400 bucks, but it might be worth it.
I have watched jaw since season 1 new subscriber we have bought our very first camper this week can't go full time but it's a start wouldn't have done it without watching y'all show thank you
Happened to me in St Cloud Florida. The angle attempt worked for me and is a good thing cause no...I humbly repeat no roadside assistance...DOH!!! Ever since we have been with Coach Net...excellent service!! When I had my International 4700 toter they were the only company at the time that would help us if we broke down. Beautiful rig by the way. On edit this did happen to me back in 2000. Geez have we really been RVing this many years...sheesh!
Love you and your family. You deserve all the blessings and happiness you are having , we traveled for twenty years in our Airstream until we became to old to do it safely. We live five minutes from Niagara Falls , New York. Please don’t visit here because it’s very unsafe. Love to you and your boys and Charlie.
Look into Maxtrax. They are mostly used in the overland world, but they would have had you out of there in 10 minutes. They work in sand, mud, and snow. Given your audience, I wouldn't be surprised if they sent you a set or two for free. They work great for leveling as well ( but I think you already have that issue covered. ) Apologies if you already are familiar with their product, but I wish more RV'ers knew about it! Also, be VERY careful with the any traction mats besides Maxtrax.... most are junk.
Mark the Grill makes really good steaks. I never grill them anymore. As great as a cook Trish is she well prove this. Garlic, rosemary, based with a small amount of butter..yum. Love your videos!!
When there is no wind :) It's our second one. The last one fell out while driving!
Suggestion.
They make traction mats that you should always use when parking on grass rain or shine for a unit your size depending on the size you need at least 2sets of two
I feel for you in the past I have had to turn a 30’ trailer around 180* to get it out of a field all with hand winches
My heart is beating so hard just watching you getting pulled out!!!!!!!
We just purchased our Good Sam membership this year, now I will have to look into the towing insurance. I love Cedar Point best time to go is on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. How is the Blackstone 17 inch grill for grilling steaks? I recently purchased the insta-pot after Trish talked about hers and I love it! Can't wait for next weeks adventure :)
LOVE Cedar Point. I'm sad that you guys weren't thrilled with it. However, it's NOT Disney. CP is ALL about the rides. If your'e not big on rides, I can see why you wouldn't love it.
Your Sons should have their own channel. From a kids perspective. Plus he’s hilarious!!!
Your family is fantastic! I have enjoy watching your channel grow since you sold your house in Arizona. You have been such an inspiration to us all and I just wanted to thank you and tell you that you have inspired me to share my experiences as well! Thank you for making a difference!
Hey guys! When I heard you say Sandusky, Ohio the first thing that popped in my head was Callahan Auto Parts and Tommy Boy 😂 Looking forward to next weeks video for the batteries install segment! Safe Travels ❤️
*(sounds of M&Ms rolling down into the defroster vent on Richard's car)*
"Oh great, Tommy, that'll really up the re-sale value." --- Richard
"Don't worry, Richard, they have a thin, candy shell." --- Tommy
Im glad I’m not the only one who thought of Tommy Boy. Slightly disappointed in the lack of references!
I don't do crowds or amusement parks, but that place looked like fun.
Short of a winch and snatch block, traction boards might have been helpful in the mud.
Were you in 4Lo? Seemed like the tires spun out fairly quickly getting on the throttle. Board are too slick if your tires are already filled with mud. Need those fancy recovery boards or that traction stuff like sand paper on wooden boards. 4Lo is also nice if you're in a sticky situation and having to maneuver in tight places like a forest road and you're trying to turn around on the edge of the Grand Canyon.
we go to CP every year, and the customer svc is anything but! Good to know on the price of the RV spots, thats way less than the cabins/cottages in Lighthouse point. They have some newer RV spots around the lake with Outdoor kitchens and firepits also. The tires on these 450s will not pull a greased string from a pigs' rear end if in wet grass, that is certain!
OMG Cedar Point is by far and away my favorite place in the world! Lighthouse Point is pretty nice for what it is, but you can’t beat the location. Waking up to the coasters is awesome. And FYI $118/night is CHEAP at Lighthouse Point! If you ever go back try to get an Ultimate Lakeside site. They are some of the nicest sites I’ve ever seen.
The Fast Passes are key especially if you’re only there one day. It’ll let you ride most everything. I don’t buy them because we make the 6hr trek from western NY 2-3 times per year.
Sad to see that you were recording on the rides. That’s a huge no-no. People have been smacked in the head by phones that people lose control of. That’s why Steel Vengeance has metal detectors.
But otherwise, I hope you had a blast and now I can’t wait for summer 2023!
I live in Cleveland, Ohio I hate the fact that I probably already missed you guys cuz I only watch you on CZcams. I hope you enjoyed my home state.
This reminds me of when were at Grand Tower Illinois. It's a beautiful Sandy Beach Campground along the banks of the Mississippi River. We parked sat up and had fun. Then the rains came, a day of it. Got ready to leave and nothing like wet Sand. WE got buried, didn't even get it to move. I tried putting big rocks and anything else I could find under the tires and it just buried it deeper. Finally an hour and a half later a guy brings his big Ford over, gets out a huge chain, looks at me and says " we were just having to much fun watching you". I was burned and humiliated. I promised myself never to be the days entertainment again. You just never know you were totally at the drivers mercy. He could have charged you twice as much. No damage all ends well.
You have basic street tires on the truck, like skating on ice. Put some more aggressive tires on and once moving on that wet stuff don't stop.
Cedar point is so much fun, I live 50 minutes away. During July all month they set off fireworks off the lake and it’s beautiful!
It’s the dips. What great teamwork and great attitudes. ❤️❤️❤️
So impressed how you guys handle your rig.....amazing.
Hey, you can stay ;)
Thank you for this video it is a confirmation that you will spend a lot of your time waiting in line, and if I don't spend the extra money for a fast pass, I will only get more aggravated having people cutting in front of me! I will stick to the national and state parks, and other wide open spaces.
I live 45 minutes away from Cedar point I wish I knew you guys were in the neighborhood that place is so expensive anymore glad you enjoyed it
Cleveland air show is memorial day weekend every year. Best way to see it is by boat. We have a full boat this year, but if you want to go out another time, give me a holler. Obviously you can see it on land, but it is not as good of an experience. You are able to go inside planes, but it is hot with no shade and crowded. It is definitely a one and done experience by land. We try to go every year in the boat, though.
Sorry. I meant Labor Day. I always get those two mixed up.
You should put a WARN winch on that 450. If you get stuck again simply pull cable to nearest tree and press a button :)
If you noticed, Cedar point employees are mostly college students wanting a summer job. Not a lot of smiles there. Whereas the mouse ears handbook probably says “no smiles, no work”. Both parks are wonderful places to visit. Lots of fond memories.
My Sunday is complete bc of your video! Charlie is huge now!!
$175 for that guy to get you out was a bargain.
Yep, about $500-1000 in Glamis depending on the week/business
we lived in OHio, my friend and I went on the old Blue Streak (the original wooden roller coaster) at Cedar Point. My friend's glasses fell apart because the little screw came out, he caught the glasses and the side but lost the screw. We get off the ride and some guy walks up why we are trying to figure out how to fix his glasses and says, "is this your screw to your glasses"?? Yep..some guy caught it, saw it hit something and caught it. So weird. Congrats on the wallet catch!!!
