Playing in mud


This is from a couple of months ago now, but it's worth posting anyway. I got a call from a couple of buddies one Sunday afternoon asking me if I could come get them 'unstuck.' They were offroading a couple miles off base, in two-wheel drive trucks, and had both gotten too deep in mud. I drove over to help them out, but no sooner than they were back on dry, solid ground, than Curt, who had come out to watch, decided to try it too. As you can see, he got in a little deeper than he had planned. What would have been a half an hour pulling two mildly-stuck vehicles out turned into four hours of work pulling Curt's Toyota out of a four foot deep mudhole. You can see that he burried it up to the headlights, but what you can't see is that directly behind his truck is another mudhole, making it rather difficult to find a dry spot from which to pull him out. We ended up buying 30 feet of chain to get him out. What an afternoon.
