I've never understood the thrill of "mudding"? It just seems like misery to me. IMO, the only way to off road is doing 100 mph in an angry little car, while the guy next to you is reading a map whilst pointing and yelling, preferrably in a Finnish accent.

I've had to leave a vehicle but once I got supplies I headed right back out. That was a little rough and exhausting but I didn't lose anything but my pride. And some paint from it sliding downhill touching a tree.

It's fun, but not for everyone, and that's cool. My wife doesn't understand my love of going 100 mph in an angry little car, while the guy next to you is reading a map whilst pointing and yelling, preferably in a Finnish accent.
We never did the "mudding" thing, just when it was on the trail as we were going someplace cool.

Something familiar about that windshield...

Cool, that's about the only way a lifted CJ is close to Lightning McQueen. Oh, and when I said I'd never leave my Jeep, I meant overnight. I did leave it for an hour or so once to get help.

I had the exact same thought 
It take some serious effort to get THAT muddy.
You go offroad where you can. If you have mud, you drive in mud. If you have rocks, you drive in rocks.
When I lived in Ottawa.
Now that I live here.
Now looks better.
This was my nephew's when they dragged it out:
Stuck pictures? I've got a couple stuck pictures:
The kids looking for a good spot to lift and push, trees to tie off to, etc:
No...really I think they were chasing frogs or tadpoles.
My buddy Greg checking out the view from the new vantage point on top of my trail beater:
It looks like acouple of thos vehicles may have gotten high centered on the deeply rutted road. Should have driven with two wheels on the high part. Of course. providing ther is room to do it. Same as rocks. you don't straddle them, you drive the wheels over them.
Despite that pic, I'm not a fan of mud. I prefer trails and getting from point A to point B with no roads.
And Keith, I kick myself for not taking an opportunity to move out west so I could wheel like that.

I prefer high-speed trails to mudding too but you don't get stuck that much, and getting stuck and pulled out isn't really a bad thing. That's just part of it. It's very technical driving like rock crawling.
