Claim 4:
5. A winch anchoring assembly for facilitating an anchor point for winching a vehicle out of an area in which the vehicle is stuck, said assembly comprising:
a rack having an anchor portion and an attachment portion extending forwardly from said anchor portion, said attachment portion having a first engagement being integrated into said attachment portion, said first engagement being attachable to a winch line of a vehicle, said anchor portion comprises a plurality of anchor members intersecting each other at a right angle such that said anchor portion has a rectangular shape, each of said anchor members having a bottom surface, said plurality of anchor members including a front anchor member and a rear anchor member, said front anchor member having a front surface, said rear anchor member having a rear surface;
a plurality of spikes, each of said spikes being coupled to and extending downwardly from a respective one of said anchor portion and said attachment portion of said rack wherein each of said spikes is configured to penetrate into the ground when said rack is positioned on the ground, each of said spikes being oriented to angle forwardly toward said first engagement on said attachment portion wherein each of said spikes is configured to sink into the ground when the winch line pulls on said first engagement thereby facilitating said rack to resist being pulled out of the ground when the winch line is pulling the vehicle; and
a second engagement being coupled to said anchor portion of said rack wherein said second engagement is configured to have an anchoring line being attached to said second engagement thereby inhibiting movement of said rack when the winch line pulls on said rack, wherein said second engagement comprises a rod having a first end and a second end, said rod being curved between said first end and said second end of said rod such that said rod has a U-shape, each of said first end and said second end of said rod being coupled to said rear surface of said rear anchor member wherein parallel straight portions of said second engagement extend perpendicularly from said rear surface of said rear anchor member coplanar with said rack;
wherein said attachment portion includes a pair of first attachment members, each of said first attachment members having a first end and a second end, said first end being coupled to said front surface of said front anchor member, said second end of each of said first attachment members being coupled together such that said first attachment members tapers to a point at said second end of said first attachment members;
wherein said first engagement comprises a ring having an outer edge, said outer edge being coupled to said point defined by said second end of said pair of first attachment members; and
wherein said first engagement includes a hook being coupled to and extending upwardly from said outer edge of said ring, said hook having a distal end with respect to said outer edge, said hook being curved between said ring and said distal end such that said hook curves toward said anchor portion.
