Following Alan (Gearhead) On our way to Holopaw, gassed up and ready to go rolling out of Sanford.
|
|
|
This diesel F350 was buried in one of the deep spots of this mud hole. There were some spots out there that would swallow 38's so you had to be careful crossing. I did wind up getting stuck trying to take the hard way across.

Heading in to the property there was a locked gate and you had to be admitted by one of the land owners.
