Many many years ago long before the age of time I owned a Blazer, long story short we stuck it so bad the third truck down with a 12000PND Warn pulled us out with the rear bumper strapped to a tree.

The other two had one burned out winch and one stuck helper truck which cost a lot of money.

I guess leaving a big fat truck like that in a mud hole for two days adds up to a whole pile of SUCTION..................

Chalk it up to expierence, it did not cost me as much as running my Toyota mini truck through a river and throwing a rod through the side of the block.

Water just don`t compress that well.
 
ahhh, reverse angle photo shows the danger....dried or low riverbed.

sinkholes are SO common in this sort of place, and they will be hidden.

The rockie terrain will hide it very well...at least in Georgia you will see it coming as it will smell funny.
 
Well I've been lurking on this forum for a long time and I guess this time is as good as ever to make my first post. I was the lazy bum sitting in the chair watching. Watching the clouds roll by and the sun go down. The driver and I had about 11 hours of waiting for Cory to come pull us out. We also went on a 2 hour hike if that proves how lazy we were. Luckily we were stuck in perhaps the prettiest areas of the canyon. Made the waiting much more pleasant.

It was also my idea to go up the river. As Cory mentioned I had driven it in my Outback and twice in my Tacoma. A pic of my truck in the same canyon was in Wasatch Cruisers club spotlight in Toyota Trails.

"Boy, you really get a sense of how fast the terrain changed on them. Check out the picture of the owner in red shorts standing in the hole with his arms up. Look at the tracks where he was pulled out and you can see that just inches from the hole the tires only make tracks a quarter inch deep."

Yeah we went from Cruising along to dead stuck in less than 30 secs. It was quite the trip. Hopefully we've learned from our mistakes. Not too many people can say they got stuck in a mud bog in the middle of the desert.
