Exclamation Help me! Im stuck!

Anyone close by to chittenden county, Vermont?!?!
Winch would be best, but a large towstrap would work too.

Im in some mud with water, and my front left tire found a hole and is buried. The other 3 wheels arent.

This is the worse way of introducing myself...

I could also give you some money or gas.

I wasnt alone...I was actually turning around too "unstick" my friend who was with me, then I got stuck...ALOT worse then he did.
He got out easily, buy the first person to come by.

Ive been stuck before...but NEVER like this!
Half my front axle is covered in sand, under water...

AND IM OUT! OH YEAH!
$200 dollars later though...but oh well, IM OUT DAMN IT!
$200 is well worth the peace of mind.

Lesson learned though, definitely.
Dont try to be the hero, when you cant even save yourself.
So with that in mind...A winch is the next on my list.

Baaaaa ha ha ha. Sorry glad your out and learned something new. Don't go in with out a way to get out. I learned that myself behind Philadelphia airport years ago. Luckily I called the right tow Guy and he got me out for free, he was just happy to find a place to go muddin.
