    Your "road" looks much like a jeep trail! Where does it lead to?

    Jeep Trail ................. very appropriate comparison! My "road" winds here and there across my 25 acres. It has some "high & dry" sections as well as some "low and soft" ones. Its strictly used to access the woods outback, not a "driveway" from the road to the house.

    Gotcha. Sounds like a day or two with a dozer would help.

    My brother did that to get around on his land. Has around 100 acres.

    Love it Boog! Pics do a good job of letting us be right there with ya. Used gear and gut her out... :yes:

    Bogydave's right... you weren't really stuck, just detained, or sidetracked, or taking a break, or testing that winch, or... :D

    That explains it. All the weight on the front makes for terrible traction. Hopefully things will dry up for you.

    Yeah, I probably should have done one of those Viagra commercials, knowing how to get it done. Drive back up to the house and have a light go on in an upstairs bedroom! :thumbs: :rofl: :lol:

    I have to make a trip out to your place soon. I had a blast at the GTG..

    Everything is still a little "Mushy" by me as well. Seems like it should be dry.. But it isn't :(

    Same here. My lawn has a big area in it that will not drain. Walk through and water is 1/2" deep. Woods drain a little better but there's a lot of pools for skeeters to party.

    Been there and done that and it's never fun anymore! Glad you got out of the woods relatively unscathed with nothing tore up!
