93 was not the only one who got stuck. Probably more got stuck than did not. I got stuck twice. First time Dick Echols pulled me out with a tractor. The second time, I dug a hole under the trailer hitch to position a jack ( the van was sunk in the mud so deep that the bumper was nearly touching the ground), jacked up the van and shoveled gravel under the wheels. Got just enough traction to crawl out to firmer ground.


A couple of years ago at another CC contest I pulled BH out of the mud (uphill) in his 14,000 lb motorhome. Did it with my Mercedes ML 430 SUV without breaking a sweat. Incidentally, that same is car is for sale! Low mileage, perfect shape, all extras. Let me know if you are looking for the perfect tow vehicle! The price is right, too.
