It stormed like mad here in FL last night. So today PaulthePhotographer and I went to see what everything was like at a favorite spot. Well.........It was wet!
And Paul DID NOT make it out of here! Well he did with a little bit of my help
There was a Jeep that showed up a little after we got there. He came over and said "Whats that? A Rav4?"
They were cool guys and we pulled them out of a lot of mud, Paul should have those pic's.

I had a lot more "smilies" but they pushed me over the image limit... So where a laugh is needed, put it in for me... lol
Hey Corey why are you leaning over to the passenger side???
Why did you keep trying to turn passenger???
Corey was the first to try this hump.
Hmmmm... Wonder what I can say about getting up and over this spot... hehehehehehehe...
This spot is a little different, you have to go through the middle, if you go next to the side, it is bad. That spot is where I ALMOST got stuck a couple of weeks ago and the video from then shows me hitting the REV Limiter.
And yet a different nasty mud hole. We did not even try going up the hill this time. We knew it was a lost cause.
Waving a wheel in the air.
FJCs to the rescue.
I see Corey leaning towards the passenger seat again... Why is that??
Here is where I was stuck and needed a little help from Corey. Of course he just crawled through it.... arrgggggg..
See I tried that new spot you started..... I even made it up and over.. hardy har harr .. (OK, I had to hit it about 300 times but I did finally beat it down enough to get over, shhhh)
With a Jeeps shorter wheelbase it is even more radical..
And this is me later on NOT, NOT making it back that little spot somebody had a problem getting up eariler...
Corey remember this spot???? When we saw him driving into that side of the mud hole, we knew he was stuck.

Wow, looks like Paul needs a snorkle too. It's almost up to his driver's side window!
lol Yeah, that is the place where Maria started saying "this is SCARY", in a rather high and loud voice... lol I did not realize it was that deep, but it was just a corner of the FJC in the water... hahahahahah
After Corey left I stayed with some jeep guys and they would not follow me through that water for some reason.
