So I went out to a class 6 road I found with google earth...
I figured I try it out trail looked about a mile long but you can only see so much with google. so I got to a road where the trail went off in either direction I know from the map I wanted to go left but right there the trail went down then up sudenly it was filled with about 2 feet of water ( ask me how I learned that)
The bump up didnt look bad until I went into the water and realized that it was a 3' vertical wall and when I was up close I could see where the 4 wheelers where goin around. there was no way I was gonna make it with all the water so I tried to back up and the mud said "hey leaving so soon? stay a while wont you?" Then it hit me Im on a new road I dont know with no jack no spare tire no friends no winch and no tow straps and 2 dogs...DOH!
Luckily I got out fairlly easily. and backed my way down the trail... I thought wow I should come back when its dry and I can see the trail at least.
Then I though nah wheres the other way go... So I started going the other way. It was easyer going then I got to this huge mud pit I was very temped to go through it but It was all under water so I couldnt see how deep it was.
So I just packed it up and went home with my tail pipe between my hubs.
Next time Ill come prepared ...maybe
