I've got a few photos of the heavy-lift tow truck winching the 40 ton+ bus out of the sand. I offered the driver a copy; he declined.

I then offered NOT to print any pictures from the shot - he thought that would be a GREAT idea.

All in all, he handled his embarassing moment with humor and aplomb. Speculation the tow job would cost $500-$600 -- but they only charged $200. Not bad. I'm not sure if Eyre paid it or the driver had to. Hopefully the former.

I got to hear the Brady Bunch sing their song to Bill & Nancy after arriving back home. It was hilarious!
