Yeah that was me… 2 other members of our group had driven through there just a few minutes prior. My first mistake was I second-guessed myself and stopped before the muddy part, as I was not sure I would make it through. After deciding I could probably make it I realized my Second mistake that was I was still in 4x2… When I hit the gas the back of the truck slid towards the lake. I put it in 4hi and tried again with the same result. It was at that point I got out to see how close I was to water and then opted to call for winch to stabilize my truck before I attempted to move again.
And with the winches came the majority of the club… yet no one wanted to walk through the mud to get my video camera to get better documentation. (That video was made with a digital camera, the picture variety)
Once I was pulled away from the lake I made it through the muddy ruts just fine, so if I had just kept going to start with I would not of had any problem!
That and the damn beans would not of exploded!
Here is a better view you can see my tire marks in the grassy part where I slid sideways the water is about 2 feet to the right of my tire.
