I was ripping around in 2wd breaking the back end loose, and carried a little too much speed and ended up out in the muck. It's crusty enough to walk on, but then thick gumbo muck underneath.

My buddy winched me out. =D>

My buddy got his dirt bike stuck in that kind of whipcream mud and it took van and rope to get it out. We were there for 2 hours as he was a long way out in the muck.
