Default Got Stuck

I went out and did some light 4wheelin and got stuck/hung up. I drove through a small puddle and the sand sunk in and I got hung up by both differentials. The all terrains didn't help at all. Luckily I was able to call someone and have them pull me out. That rear tow hook saved my butt.

How did you get stuck in that..............I thought you Crestucky folks were well versed in using 4 wheel drive.

Was this pick taken behind Lowe's?

Just a tip: in wet sand, go slow and try to not spin your tires. Not that I was there and I assure you that I have had my fair share of "DAMMIT" stucks but I know that spinning your tires stirs it up, and like quicksand, will turn wet sand into mush under your wheels.


edit: your username is GREAT

I think deep water blue and sand are a great color combination. Thanks for the interesting pics!
