    Not loose dirt, sand. Grass was on top so you wouldn't know until it's too late.

    Do those walmart boots hurt your feet? What were you trying to pull? Can you jack it up and put that block under the tire, then fill the dirt back in ? You need a 4 wheel drive

    Jack the trailer off the truck so the truck can walk up out of there. Might also try a hunk of carpet under the tire.

    Tried that, ain't first rodeo, beleive me. It's sand so all a 4x4 would gain me is front end sitting on frame as well as rear. Was loading a 1965 pickup. If it wouldn't have spun would've been just fine. Buddy will here soon so with 60 foot or so of chain shouldnt be problem to get him on solid ground.

    lmao sorry but that was funny to me, I guess its still daylight there, im sure you have looked at all your options but can you run your trailer winch to something behind you and pull yourself out backwards

    edit, sorry I just noticed you unhooked your trailer

    Tater Don't feel bad, I see people do it all summer long on my sandbar, an there is no grass on sand here.

    I do laugh as I call a tow truck for them tho, cause..you really shouldn't be driving on my beach unless you got 4wd. Silly tourists.

    I hope you got it out of there ok Tater. Was only joking about the boot prints. In walmart over the weekend there was a rack of boots on close-out, tried on almost every one that might fit but didn't find a single pair that didn't hurt my feet, either while walking, or squattin down. Seems every boot's got those deep grips in them now days. I like the good ol timey kind, that gripped without the deep grooves. Used to you didn't hardly see the deep ones, in fact, the first ones I ever had was some from an old Army-Navy store, and they were jungle boots. Anyway, your boot prints all around reminded me of that Walmart trip, I musta walked around there an hour trying to find a pair that didn't hurt ; )
