Thanks either way. Luckily a loonatic in a lifted f-250 saved my ***. Bless his heart.

I was about ready to leave her there.

With all the rain and snow we've been getting the dirt here is just so soaked with nothing to get traction on other than the weeds.

The disco was handling great but I was having an issue getting the CDL to engage and got stuck in the mud.

My buddies D2 just couldn't get up the embankment to winch me out.

The rain was coming down hard on us and I was just sinking into the mud. At this point I posted the first call.

After that we abandoned the disco and went to the bar and found a wonderfully tipsy lad by the name of Ian with a F250 built for the mud.

Took some seriously sketchy wheeling through the mud with lightening and rain coming down on us and once we got to the top of the hill I hooked up to him and winched myself out.

Then a few close calls later we got back, got some drinks and I was at work in the morning ah haha.

Smart phones don't take the best photos in the dark sadly.
