[/COLOR]here are the pics from today.

i had drove in this spot before when it was dry. after the hard rain yesterday it was a whole different trail. the water was deep but not to deep. the mud on the other hand was deep and sticky. got the blazer buried trying to get out of the trail.

i brought down the bruiser/F350. i backed in the F350 and hooked up the winch. the winch was at the end of the rope and the mud had sucked the blazer in. i tried to pop the blazer out and ended up pulling the winch rope off the spool. dumby i know better. ended up hooking the rope to the front bumper and getting the blazer out with the F350.
next it was the F350's turn.


the lack of real power limited the F350's ability to really go though the mud. almost looks like some of the trails we have been down

after the battery died in the F350 i ran the blazer for a few more batteries. i went back to this hole from time to time. with the sun setting this is what really ended the day. this is the front mip drive shaft with the output shaft of the tranny broke off inside.
