    if you haul grain you will be on dirt,sand, and mud more often then the paved road it seems. getting unstuck is a art form you must learn trust me tow bills ad up.

    There was a bunch of trucks circling around in both so I didn't even go in.

    There but for the grace of God....

    Had to do a U-turn on a similar surface in Mecca. Got lucky I kept the speed up and steady, otherwise that coulda been me. Didn't realize how loose that sand/dirt combo could be. Add to that there were tracks that told me I wasn't the first truck to U-turn in that spot.

    Easy mistake to make.

    I purposely drove out in it for Dune fest. Well with the help of a d8. The d8 also pulled me back out cause I wasn't moving an inch.
