Thought I could make it up the little shelf. It was deceivingly sloppy.

Walker Valley
This was Friggin ugly. We went down a trail at Walker Valley and realized there was only 1 choice to be made. We had to ride that bitch out. 9000lb Warn didn't even budge it. 2 Winches, a bunch of Cussing, and serveral OHHs then she came off.

Sorry no pictures but I'll tell my story and I may take the prize on this one.
I had a guy brushhogging with my Bobcat T650 (rubber track Bobcat). He buried it. Called me. I went to get him out with my 2011 GMC dually 3500 (worst truck I've ever owned for off road hands down-I'm not talking mud-I mean just off road period. I had a Dodge dually and it would do circles around my GM off road). Anyway, started going into the field and it started to sink and I was done. We went to my house to get my Jeep. Again, we started going in and about a 1/4 mile into this field I ran into a silt runoff that I didn't know was there and buried the Jeep. We had nothing to hook to with the winch. We found a 4 foot 3" steel pipe and drove it ALL THE WAY into the ground/mud. This area was 4' plus of silt/mud. The pipe didn't hold. Called my brother in law and luckily he was able to get to us coming into the field from a different direction. Winched myself out using him as an anchor. Got to the Bobcat and winched it out. Then my brother in law couldn't get out the way he came in because of a big hill that was slick. Had to winch him up that. Lastly got back to my GMC and winched it out. This was about 4-5 hours worth of wasted time and $$. Oh-well. It was fun at certain points. Wish I had pics.
