Heres a map of the place where i got my OTHER truck stuck. (1978 K5 Blazer)
4 = 4Wheel drive Diversified
Rectangle =Downtown Maumee
Square =Downtown Perrysburg
Line =Path i took
X =Where i ended up
The blue path is a squiggle on land, cuz theres a State park there, and thats how the path goes, and theres a boat ramp right by the water, but the water was low and the rocky river bed was showing, so i drove around in the river of about a 1' of water... little did i know, the rocky bed was only around the base of the ramp. after i strayed away from it, it turned into silt. when my front tires went over the silt, it softened it up and when my rear tires followed the tracks, they sank, up to the hubs. it was weird, this was about 630am. but, oddly, the water looked like it was rising, like a tide. either that or my truck was sinking even more. i was gettin pretty damn scared/worried. :o I tried to dig it out, i took off my pants and was in my boxers, no shoes or socks, took my shirt off. I wasnt makin any progress cuz its... sandy/silt. it just kept falling in. i cut the motor, and walked to shore... about 100yds. I walked to a grocery store and called my mom on the cell fone. well, my bed rails are about 5' tall and when i got the truck back ($1000 later) there were watermarks about halfway up the tailgate and silt had settled in my interior. I had about 3 gallons of water in my tank, my carb was rusted, internally. i had river rocks, gritty silt and sand all up in my brakes, hubs, inside my frame rails, ontop of my axles... my truck was junk after that. i took my liftkit and suspension off it, my rag top off, my CB out, my engine, and my 32's and junked it... it was sad really.
