There is mud in Reno...

...and I found it today.

FAIL.




This photo clearly shows how deep my right front end was.  Basically, I crossed this little canal in an
attempt to take a shortcut to a road at the end of our street.  All that was fine, except for the fact that
there was a massive mud pit on the other side of the creek.  Basically quicksand.  As soon as I crossed
the water I just sank. And stuck. 


As soon as I knew I was not going anywhere on my own, I called Clint and he came to the rescue in his
VX.  Thanks, bro.  I owe you a few beers.


And thanks, Tom, for making me buy a tow strap. I used it.


No slack.


Victory!




There was so much mud caked into the rims and wheel wells my truck was severely off balance until I got
it to the car wash and sprayed the majority of the mud out.  I think I am going to have to remove my wheels
to really get it clean out, which sucks.  I hate mud.


On a good note, we got some cool pics.  The 18-200 is phenominal.


There was a massive herd of wild horses really close by.  I got a few nice pics of this baby.

  1. I know you would do the same for me. I hope to be able to get out and explore more once mine is completely fixed.
