spring creek trip....pics

Don't worry the truck faired just fine. I did end up having to replace the alternator, and had to pull the interior to wash out the carpet. I'm gonna leave the carpet out the rest of the week to let it dry good before reinstalling, but I put my interior back together to use the truck the rest of the week.

UHHH....well, you can't really tell from the pics but there is a tree line just the other side of that mud hole. I was trying to stay close to the tree line and only skirt the outside of the hole. that hole is no bigger than the width of my truck and I had no idea it was anywhere near that deep.
Since I wasn't expecting it to be deep I was carrying some speed so backing out was not an option. I tried to ride through it, but didn't have the traction to pull myself out. I could still rock back and forth and luckily it was at an offroad park so I was out quickly.
According to the guy who pulled me out, some of those seemingly small mud holes, in the area I was at, are deep enough to swallow your whole vehicle.
I was actually very surprised that no water got into the cab while I was stuck.
It was only after the truck got upright (all of the water that had seeped inside the door frame)
poured onto the floor, before I could get the door open.

When water's pouring into the cab, that's a sinking feeling
