went to busch's wildlife in missouri a few weekends ago to drive around - off the gravel road. there was a fresh rain so it was pretty muddy. i backed into a spot where i though wasn't deep - i checked it before i went in. turns out there was a drop off a little ways in. back end was 2 feet below water and with no extras on my X for off-roading yet, my chances of gettin out were very slim. I tried everything - rocking it out, diggin, puttin sticks under the tires -anything to get some traction. i called the wildlife's office thinking they'd just bring a truck over with a rope to yank me out. 10 minutes later a cop comes by and threatins to write me a ticket for going off the gravel roads. He made me call a tow truck - he wouldn't let my brother pull me out with his truck. the tow truck wenched me out and charged me $60 bucks. I had $7 dollars on me and no credit cards. well he let me go without charge so i got away - costing me only the embarassment. Now if I want to four-wheel i've got to stick to my dad's farm where we run the willy's jeep.
