I still had my "driving shoes" on - slip on outdoor shoes - that are comfy for driving. I lost one on the deep mud. So picture in your minds eye JHAP soaking wet, and muddy, wearing only one shoe, hiking back up to camp to get my 4Runner.
Jeff I have a similar experience except I was in our 4x4 pickup with my wife driving. We were just taking a Sunday drive around the country side near our place. My wife turned onto a county road that turned out to be a non maintanced road that the local teens had mudd crawls in. When we approached the mud hole area which was about 100yds long, my wife stopped and said what do you thank. I said if you are going for it, punch it now and don't let up. We made it to the last hole about 5 ft from dry land and burried it to the axles. Nearest house was about 2 miles away. I lost both shoes in the mud and hiked out with one bare foot and a empty 12 pack box of keystone on the other foot.
The road goes on forever and the party nevers end...............................................
