| So THAT'S how they get out of those ruts so easy.....2x4's are useful after all! I got out right after this. |
| These huge-ass ruts extended the full length of the trail (at least 1/4 mile)and terminated in a bog/lake about three feet deep with soft mud at the bottom. I rode the edges of the ruts down and then had to scramble to make it back up in the ruts. |
| This is what nerf bars are for! And, no, I didn't get stuck, but it was a close thing. |
| There was some snow on the ground at the time so I figured I'd roll into it. Almost got stuck right where I was! Looks can be deceiving....locked the front hubs and I was free in a sec. |
| Turning around down here was kinda hard....but I got it eventually. |
| Hehehe...puddles are cool. I tested the depth first with a stick. When I got out I had to have a buddy keep the gas pedal down a bit to keep the water out of the muffler. Also: I hear sometimes rangers or loggers will 'spike' the bottom of big puddles in an effort to keep off-roaders out. Watch out for that! |
