February 1999 - St. Boni

Brett, Jonah, and I went out to the same spot that Brett and I were at a couple weeks back. The ground had finally started thawing out, and this meant mud. There was some pretty slick stuff that we had fun playing in, but it got serious after we kept digging deeper and deeper as we passed through where Jonah got stuck. It started out looking like nothing and turned into what you see in the pics and videos. Open diffs are horrible in this situation, and you can see proof of this by watching the videos. Even Brett had a little trouble when his front end was buried -- the locker in the rear and his 38" swampers weren't enough.

Below are pics of my truck and movies of my truck, to see Brett's, check out his page.

Some of these images are a little screwed up because the videotape they were captured from was screwed up.
