Homes, we used to rod around in Dry (so we thought) Lake Beds.
Also I've traved 20 miles away from my truck only to sink the bitch up to the seat in the gooey slimey gumbo goodness.
Maybe its because i'm young and generally really talented but I bet I could have dug the bitch out and kept going. SEEMS like a scenario I had last summer rodding around in a dry lake bed. Sunk her up to the exhaust and had to dig by hand while sinking in the mud and finally freed her after 4 hours of digging only to sink her again 10 feet away.
And it was in 100 degree heat.

All in all, good service. I won't be surprised or bitter if they don't cover it though.

Salt bog mate. Nastiest blackest shit you can imagine. I was burning my skin, which made swimming in it difficult. Heavy. Sticky. Smelly.FatherTed wrote:

I wonder if there wasn't chemicals dumped there because under the salt and the brown mud there was jet black snot like goo;

It'll be there or I get to report it stolen.
I actually had a good plan and was cooking with gas at one point.
I dug out one side, pushed the bike over onto a plank. I pressed some plywood down on the kick stand side and actually levered the back tire out of the mud and onto the plywood. I got the front tire onto a plank, and then the bitch fell over in the mud, encasing the throttle in goo. KY jelly does not provide the same glide as that salt mud. I got her back up and the front tire slipped off the plank. I got her back up and started again; the rear tire went right away off the plywood and into the mud and she tipped onto me.
I had nothing left.
I spent a total of six hours digging, pulling, thinking and begging God.

Salt bogs, even if you do pull the girl she'll be past economics.

Ahhh man that suck...worst is that if we only look at those pics it does not seem so bad, but i would not want to be in your shoes trying to get the fucker out...anyway, looking at that mud chances are good that this nice little machine wont work anymore even when freed.ATG wrote:

May be a total loss. If towing quote is $1900.00 and damages are perhaps $1000.00 she is done.FatherTed wrote:

The quote is a phone quote. It will go up when they realize they are stuck too or need a helicopter.

Around Red Rock Canyon there are often flash flood. People have been partially buried and received lime burns from the soil.
There is a reason there are so many concrete plants in the Mojave.
Of interest about there area is the large amounts of fossils. Elephant like tusks and camel bones, saber tooth tigers and giant bear like dogs weather out of the mud cliffs periodically.
Curious that no native American remains have ever been found even though the area supported a tribe of about 700. They find lots of everything but no human remains.

I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, bad under that layer of salt, the black snot like glue was rotting fish carcass.ATG wrote:

See, a salt plane was once a thriving lake... So when it dries up, guess what happens to all the fish and sea life? Yeah... they become buried in a fine sediment of rotting vegetation, other sea life and mud. Then the water dries up completely and the salt surfaces and then hardens.
Carefully planned of course. Some sort of leverage system/blast shield. Damn it Jim, it just might work! How much ammonium nitrate will he need?
