sooo, yeah. Decided i'd go for a ride with some friends in my blazer. Headed into a hole that i know around here, its usually good juss to mess around in 2 wheel drive. I was horribly wrong this time haha. Got down in, started through the shallow part of the creek thats always there, no problems. Well we got hung up shortly after that and i had to through it into 4hi. Went fine for a short bit until the front end started slidin into the deep part of the creek. Now keep in mind, i'm used to that water being maybe up to a foot deep. Haha not this time, the run off fro mthe melting snow made it about 3 feet deep, possibly more i didnt get down in to check but youll see the pics. Its up in there pretty good. Anyway, i ended up with no traction in the rear to push me out in cuz i stopped on a huge chunk of ice. What bull**** right, haha. Anyway to rap it up we ended up goin to the farm down the road and had them pull me out with there big tractor, haha freakin cold water man.

 

heres a couple pics i snapped with my cellphone, the last pic is a chunk of ice that was about a foot long and almost 5 inches thick haha i wont be going that way til its completely thawed out haha.

just a guestion, why would you use 4hi, and not 4lo. And yeah, i bet it was cold.

 

well i was in 4hi...until i dropped in haha. But yes i did use 4lo.....no need at first. But by the time i put it in low, there was no hope haha.

 

Just the pics say it was cold!!!

 

ohhhh you guys have no idea ahah.. i dropped in to my knee right behind the truck like 5 times. I kept walkin back and forth across tryin to throw rocks and stuff under the tires,...didnt work. The guy that pulled me out stopped across and broke through and goes"ohhhh **** thats cold" and jumped back across and threw me the chain then he hopped back up into his tractor ahah. But the thing is, todays the nicest weather weve had in over a month. It was like 55, the water was like uhhh....BRRR..is that a temperature? brrrr haha

 

oh man it was pretty epic ridin in the back seat thought we were gonna flip over. im like climbin over the back seat for weight but yea didnt work. Yea had to walk up road to get tractor dude. Umm yea water was a LITTLE cold. I actually had to take my shoes off to get heat to my feet.mighta been good if we had posi hehe

 

hahaha wow dang that sucks. guess u learned the hard way lol. good thing u didnt go any deeper! ya icy water is usually cold lol

 

Glad you got out!! Next time I bet you will be more prepared with some extra weight!! LOL
