Trouble....
So, yesterday, my bf and I decided we wanted to go offroading in this place a friend of his was telling him about, because a lot of the places that used to be open are rocked in now due to kids getting back in them and doing stupid stuff, like leaving trash, tires, etc behind. So, we get to this new place, and have a blast. There was a set of mudholes we saw, but didn't want to go through and get stuck without having something to pull us out. So, we go back to his place, get a towing strap and the come-along and stuff to pull us out in case we get stuck. Well, we get back to the spot, I roll my window up and hold my breath, and we make it through the hole fine. Awesome! We're driving back to the holes that are behind that, and see some guys coming through on 4wheelers. Keith asks how deep it gets and the guys tell us it gets pretty deep, we'd be better off turning around and heading back out to the other holes... So... The group on 4wheelers leaves us, after the one guy tells us there's a whole that comes up to about his chest-armpit area (he's gotta be around 6'). Keith looks at me, gets out and pokes at the hole in front of us with a stick... says as long as he stays to the side, we can make it through. Ok... We drive through, passenger side leaning pretty good, but we make it! YES! Keith figures that was the hole the guy was talking about, especially since the next hole wasn't deep at all. Come to another hole... Keith gets out, pokes it with a stick. Again, if we stay along the edge! Well. we're almost out of the hole when the jeep slides... Awww crap! He puts it in 4Low and tries backing out, we're making it, til the rear tire slides again... Drive forward a little and we're stuck... Nice and good. Jeep's tilted to the passenger side, I feel my foot getting wet... Keith pulls me over his lap and pushes me out of the jeep, climbs out behind me. He's pulling the towing strap and stuff out of the jeep, along with my purse, sweater and phone (isn't he so sweet?), as one of the guys on the 4wheelers comes back. He has this "I told you so" look on his face, asks why we didn't go through the smaller hole to the left and Keith tells him he thought that was the "Deep hole" (uh huh). So, we tie the jeep up to a tree so it doesn't tip over into the puddle, while the guy goes back to get his friends, and then goes to get his truck... We got out, Jeep was perfectly fine, aside from a little water inside...
Just wanted to share this weekend's fun with you! And yes, I have pics!

Sounds like something my family would do, honestly. I thought only people from the south went and and did crazy things in the mud.
