I got most of the chunks off, still some in the wheels, but now redcarpet won't get so mad about washin it later lol. I was pleased with how it did today, I was only worried that one spot where I had to back up a couple times. U have a good time playin "fallow the leader"?

Yeah that was a sketchy spot. Pretty much cleared the way for me, haha. I was kinda worried a few times but ended up shocked as to how easy some of the nasty parts were. I think I was worried the most during the drive on the edge of that wash out . I always feel like its going to cave in; which would suck!
I'm really glad I was able to follow you today. Really helped my see how to enter and take some nasty mud holes safely. You pretty much make it seem like cake. If I would have hit that before you I would have had some speed and who knows what would have happened; probably broke something. lol

You might have ended up like that Chevy. Lol.
I was surprised at how easy he came out of the hole. I always get a bit nervous when the ground gives way and leans the vehicle towards a drop off and water. Lol. That soft sandbar when we dropped down by the water made me nervous. Mainly because I know if you get stuck out there the vehicle gets "suctioned" in and takes a lot to get out. I like to try and take all the mud and everything else slow, and hammer on it only when need be..

Yeah I was too. He sure seemed stuck pretty bad. I guess it goes to show how close he really came to making it. I bet we could have went through it with minimal troubles, but that's just me talking now, probably wouldn't think that way if I was there again. lol That sandbar could have been dangerous. pretty tough once you do get a vehicle stuck, all the recovery vehicles just dig themselves in too I suppose. Anywhere within 15 feet of the river gets me nervous, considering the suction it potential like you said. Plus it sinks so fast while waiting to get out, just turn around and you sink a inch. Just a pain once you get stuck.
