This was back in the abandoned construction site, but
the lack of any rainfall had dried it up a bit...

Needless to say, the mud got a little too thick for my passenger car tires, and we were forced to pull out the shovel.
Notice the tailpipe pressed up agaist the quarter panel.

As a rule, you never off road alone.  So I had Jim's trusty jeep attatch a tow strap to the
frame of the BII.  Unfortunately, the lower weight of the Jeep hindered the process...

After about eight hours (no exaggeration) of digging, pushing, and pulling, the mud finally let go of
my poor vehicle and let us drive it out of the puddle.

These are two of my friends I enlisted to help with the truck removal.  Notice their mud covered pant legs.
We drew straws, and they lost, so they had to stand behind the truck and push...

Here's another friend of mine and myself, rather happy that we could drive home.
