Any confessions? (Stuck in the mud)
So... Any of us have a confession to make? Stuck in the mud... I'm impressed they could even make a call from that far out. Have you ever been this stick before and what did you do to get out as...

Oh yeah, all 14,000 glorious lbs, up to the differential, tie downs and running boards. Many, many miles off the beaten path in the SW desert. We came to a deep muddy puddle that covered the whole dirt road. We saw that others had gone around on slightly higher ground at some point in the past. Well, turns out that was probably the worse of the 2 routes...Nothing but soft muddy ground.
The 4 of us tried to dig out, used our blocks, dead brush under tires. No use, all too slippery. We spent the night and tried again in the a.m. Over many hours we ended up collecting every rock and piece of gravel we could find, in a place that was 95% dirt, dug out some more to make a more shallow escape "ramp" in front of each tire, lined those areas with the rocks for traction. That finally worked.
Learned our lesson on that one, maybe...Feel bad about the torn up terrain though. Thankfully not much vegetation to damage.
