My stuck story is from the military. I was catching a ride to the chow hall with a sergeant and instead of taking the road he decided to cut through the cable cut and go directly out to Rt. 1 . Half way across he hit a sort of half underground stream , got stuck and started to sink. He was an operator . so he says no problem I'll run back and get the 10,000 lb Yale fork lift. He comes back with the Yale and chain hooks up; starts to sink the Yale. I go to get out and see a copperhead in the stream but what the heck I got combat boots on I get out and look and the Yale is still sinking. He says no problem I'll go get the Terex [ also rubber tires] Pulls up behind the Yale and the Terex starts sinking. Now he is starting to panic . He calls a Warrant Officer who was an operator. He comes out . Holy Cow you guys are screwed. He says you need a dozer. Sir we gave that back to the army. No track machines except an old Amtrack that needs work . Time is passing. To make a long story short they had to call a huge wrecker for 5 tons. A sergeant comes from the other side of the base . This is now about 11 at night shuts down all Rt 1, parks sideways on the highway and has us pull about 150 yards of huge cable from the highway to the jeep first. He says get rid of the civilian vehicle pulls it out to Rt1 . Then we hook up the Yale pulls that right through the swamp onto the roadway. Then finally the Terex pulls that right out through the whole huge mud hole to Rt1. But now it is about 1 am. Finally I stagger into the barracks at about 2 in the am covered in mud and grease, pants soaked , no dinner. and NOTE TO SELF -- don't ride with that guy any more. But all in all nobody got brought up charges and it was all because he wanted to try his POV Jeep on a shortcut that really was a swamp. I was a bit tired at work the next day.
