Well, I took the Infidel out for a good run on a few trails south of Chicago. Of course a few bottles of liquid courage were involved, and everything was going smooth until......the trail ended. It looked passable. I swear it did. My friend who is a more experienced Jeeper said it looked like no problem at all. (IT DIDN'T AT 4AM!!!) So we started to go, mud was flying we were having a blast. Then it stopped, and sank and sank. The next thing I knew we were past the axles in really soft muck. Unbeknown to us we had ended up in a reedy area of the back end of a lake we didn't know existed. No problem right? We were 3 miles from his house and we hiked back to get his 4x4 Chevy, which got stuck as well. Luckily we finally got a hold of a friend of ours that has a F350 Diesel with a 6" lift, and 38" Swampers. So 2 (yes I said 2) tow chains later the Infidel was rescued from her boggy grave. Only one little bit of damage which I consider my self lucky on was the lower stock plastic front motor cover. Next time I go when its light out and I go without the bottles of liquid courage. But a fun time was had by all even though I was up to my knees in bog muck, and eaten alive by mosquitoes.

 

what, no pics?!?!

 

thats alot of reading with no pics. I cant picture what he is trying to depict other than he is stuck

 

pics would have been great

 

C'mon guys do it officially.

 

The whole Trails & Tales subforum is worthless without pics!

 

he sent me this pic from his camera phone:

 

That's sort of how I envisioned it. Maybe add some booz bottles floating around in the mud and it would be perfect.

See everyone? Pictures make a relatively ordinary thread so much more interesting!

 

i knew something wasnt right!

 

that makes sense now
