    So just about every day I go out looking for eagles, and I found a few, long story short, I found one right off the side of a back road. Went to park on the side, so i wasn't blocking it for anyone, it was wet and insanely muddy...... not even traction boards helped and I tried all kinds of ways, finally a tractor pulled me out lol

    Morale of the story is, just block off the road, screw everybody else,.. exactly what I'm doing next time lolol


    There's my stupidity for the day... YOLO

    Glad you got out.

    Been there done that myself. Once it was in my beater S10 Blazer with a not completely functional 4wd. I had to pull on the cable by hand because the rubber diaphragm to the actuator had deteriorated. Went to open the hood and the latch broke. All this while the water level was rising during the heavy rains CA actually saw in like 2004.

    Put the sprinkler under it. If that shit dries, you'll have to get it wet again before it begins to rinse off.

    After I got stuck my steering wheel shook insanely at 25 mph.

    I crawled to the closest gas station and spraying the hose there scooped mud out of the wheel. Was completely full.

    Got home and had to take the brakes apart as they were caked with mud.

    The mud was full of rocks and scraped the inside of the wheels and scraped the wheel weights off.

    Had to go get my wheels balanced.
