Another piece of forrest getting logged by the girls means different routes through the woods. And this time there is even more rough terrain.

__________________________________

Jack was trying his best to grip the log with his hands. The buck was thankfull to have the makeshift lap belt as Nick was plowing his way through the forrest. The boys did this route a couple of times this day, so the road, if you can call it that way, was already muddy and rutted. And the clock was ticking towards 1pm, lunch time, so Nick hurried up to get the haul done.
Nick cut straight through some areas which with normal vehicles would use some serpentine style roads but not with him. Nick wasn't scared of the terrain, neither of tipping a trailer. He'd unhitch himself from the convoy and shift the rolled trailer back on it's wheels.
Jack on the other hand got a free day in the roller coaster park. Some hills had steep slopes which Nick tackled with almost running speed avoiding to bottom out the trailers and get stuck dangling in the air. He had it a few times to get stuck like this. The problem was, his weight, to light to pull the trailer down but yet to heavy to be able to release the king pin of the fifth wheel. His solution was to have enough momentum to slide over the hill top. Did the first trailer follow him, the rest was easy going.
This procedure gave Jack the thrills.

N: Stripes, are you ready?
J: Let me just check my belt. Yup. Go for it big boy.

Nick's speed increased, he shifted from walking to a galloping movement. The trailers were shaking, Jack was thrown around, hold in place by the belt, using his hands and forearms to protect himself against twigs and brush from the trees.
The buck felt the terrain makeing a slow incline while Nick still was accelerating, adrenalin building up. After a slight turn to the right the creek was insight.

J: Hell yeah, we are doing it again.
N: Brace your self, wooohooo.

Nick jumped forward of the hilltop. His thumb ready on the brake switch on his remote control. Jack felt how the whole trailer was leaped upwards by Nick's jump, then all of a sudden the trailer has reached it's top dead center and was plunging down, Jack had enough speed to go flying of his seat but the lap belt pulled him down with the trailer.
Nick activated the trailer brakes as the trailer coming over the hilltop started his downward movement. Nick loved this feeling, beeing catapulted around with great force. His paws made ground contact, the trailer had still momentum and the ground was soft and mushy.
Nick was shoved into the ground until his lower body's ripcage made ground contact. The trailer came to an abrubt stop. Nick's legs and a foot of his lower ripcage burried.
The speed of the last 2 trailers together with the slippery ground increased their braking distance, so they shoved the first one forward, lifting it's axles of the ground. Nick felt that and immediately spread his arms, gripped the outer logs and pushed with his upper body against the logs to stabilise the whole trailer. He wanted to avoid tipping the first trailer with Jack on top at all costs.

J: Woha, are you ok down there?

The trailer was tilted forward around 45° in such a way, Jack couldn't see Nick, the buck's feet were dangling of the edge of the log, the lap belt preventing Jack from sliding of.

N: A little muddy but fine otherwise. Can you see the rear end of the trailer?

Jack turned around

J: Yes, it's weirdly angled and very high.
N: Ok, you might need to come down, but let my try something first.

With the remote still in his hand, Nick released the trailer brakes, the last two started to roll back down the incline, pulling the first one on the ground. With a loud thumb the wheels made ground contact.
Jack's heart still beating but now he was able to see Nick.

N: I'm stuck.
J: Do you need help?
N: If you manage to move my body, I'll salute you and you'll have earned the title of beeing the Kaiju Cops power house.
J: HarHar. I thought more like getting the girls to come over.
N: It's ok, I'll make my way out.

Nick start to move, to stomp, to shift his weight back and forth, managing to get his front legs freed.

N: Alrighty, here wo go.

Nick pushed himself up and forward with his front legs, dragging his rear out of the mud.
After a few steps they reached the creek. A little mountain creek, clear and clean water coming from a spring in the mountains. He dipped his front paws in the water, grabbed his cup, leaned over, filled it upstream, and gulped it down.

N: Want a drink to?
J: Thanks, I'm fine. This was amazing, but didn't you hurt yourself?
N: Nahaha, I'm more robust than I look.
J: You guys are unbelievable. I know, I'd look like minced meat if I was down there.
N: One of the few benefits of super powers.

Nick stepped into the creek, laid into the creekbed and washed the majority of mud out of his fur. Then he left the creek, shaked himself dry, the whole trailer was rocking as Nick did so.

N: C'mon Stripes, we need to hurry up.
J: I'm going to tell my driver to hit the gas... Nick, get your butt moving now! We already are behind shedule!

Both laughed and Nick continued their path through the woods.
