Went to the dunes last weekend w/ some jeep buddies. Here goes...

I got high centered while trying to navigate between these two berms. Had to bo-duke my way out the drivers window because the doors wouldn't open. Good times.

Random shot just after I pulled myself out.

You can't really see the drop-off the left. As I was driving my driver side tires started to slip off the track. I had to stop and call for help.

Here are my friends trying to make their way up to me. The guy in the YJ tried to take this route up but couldn't quite make it. Every time he tried to back down it, his tires started to slide toward the drop off to the right. It was a little hairy for a few minutes.

And my favorite "stuck" photo of the weekend...

That last one there is funny. Obviously he doesn't know that once you start to dig in to stop and back out?

In his defense, he was moving pretty quick and he bogged down quick. There wasn't a lot of time for him to react. And once you're in that crap there's no backing out.

We were actually on our way back to the parking lot when that happened. You have to cross a small creek of sorts to get back. It had been raining all day and everything around the creek was turning to quick-sand. The whole group almost got stuck again a couple hundred yards away from where that pic was taken, myself included.

Thanks. The tires are Toyo Open Country Mud Terrains (M/T), 285/75/16s. Great tires.
