What would you do?

[Seahawkfan]

The road to work is closed.
There are two routes that are probably the same driving time wise.
One Paved
One Half Paved (water crossing)
I picked the dirt or sandy mud.
Just before the last turn to pavement, you run into this.
Do you turn around?
Do you move forward?

I’d say go for it

I mean...

Angel: What rig are you in? lift? tires? If you get stuck it doesn't look like there is anything to winch onto.

Devil: SEND IT LIVE!!!!

I would get out and take a close look first. The dirt around the pipe may be undercut and collapse into a big hole as soon as there is any pressure.

The video is said to be "private" so I can't watch it.

 

[Seahawkfan]

The video doesn't work? I'll tske a look later.

Yes, I did have recovery bag.

Pretend you didn’t see it and keep moving. It’s not like you’re driving a Bronco.

I’ve gotten stuck in mud wheeling alone before I had a winch so I would be cautious. Luckily someone came by with a winch, then he went on to show me how it was done and got himself stuck

So what did you do?

So what did you do?

I went to work, just got home. Give me a minute.

Funny you mention that. Something had fallen on the floor, so I stopped to grab it just before I could see this around the bend. When I took off, I got heavy footed for the turn and all of the sudden, I see it and actually have slam on the brakes.

 

[Seahawkfan]

I turned around, HaHa Just kidding.
No, I went for it. And it did as we all thought it would. Swallowed the front end.
I was thinking if I could get the front end across, I would be ok, it would have but that didn't happen.
Sorry for the mumbling and lack of a lot of other things). Like no video of the actual recovery.
But here is me going in.

Damn… this is your fault.

Jesus that is much deeper than I originally thought.

 

[CalSgt]

I probably would have done something similar... I've been known to do stupid shit sometimes

You should never listen to us. We bad influence.

Stacking the rocks sucked, anything big enough that was close was frozen in.
So that's what I did, dropped some rocks to keep the rear tires as high as I could.
Solid winch points were limited.
Sorry I didn't get video of it coming out of the hole.
My Warn 10s had no problem pulling first the rock I had my tree saver and long strap synched up to. seem Like I just popped up and hit the brakes.
My ass end didn't go in when the front went up.
Now I'm stratling this thing on the edge. dropped some pretty good sized rocks for good measure. Started winching and inching forward. Ass end dropped in, and I popped up on the other side.

Cool you were able to winch out.. Do you think Lockers would of got you through?

Winch pulled me up as well. Those are 37's. So pretty much 45" sand wall. Probably, but you would be digging through the whole thing to get out. Maybe backed out.

From time stamp first photo to last was about 1 hour 9 minutes. Success.
