You are an adventurer! Kudos for taking on those back roads. Do you need a permit to camp in these places? I would like to see pics if you can. Any of your buried truck? Sorry you had to cut it short in that manner. I worry about that kind of thing happening to me. Especially when I see a float plane. Thanks for the write up.

Here are couple pics of the rescue. I think I'm more of an idiot than an adventurer. There were times the ride was violent. The water wasn't a big deal. I drive through lots of water longer and deeper than that and cross streams too. It was the quality of the clay. I literally sank up to my thighs.

It wasn't all rough roads. One of my favorite lakes was right beside the road. I parked my car behind some trees 20 yards from the highway and the lake was five yards away. I was last there about eight years ago and it seemed like no one had used my campsite in all that time. I love that campsite. It's the knoll of an island with big trees for shade and a fine view. Unfortunately, I spent too much time watching the wind whip the water into froth. At least the lake was small enough for me to fish here and there.

Holy-moly! How long did it take to clean that critter?

You clean yours? :) It took a while . . . even just hosing it out.

They're so noisy when they reach asphalt with all that packed clay being shucked by the tires.

quote misqua: "I also only stay on Crown Land when I go into Canada. I rarely see anyone else unless I stay close to a main road. Its a great deal since it doesn't cost much."
How do you shop for your lakes? I use Google Earth and fish online.

Boy, my crown land pernits cost the same as the parks I thought.
Miss Molly, I hope your emergency turned out ok. Your such a great adventurer.
