few pics of me stuck in a mud bog-
riding with troyboy68 today (sunday 03/07). He's on his grizz 550, and he had to winch my sp800 out of a harmless looking mud bog.
It looked shallow & firm- until I sank up to the fenders. The longer it sat, the more it sank. There was nothing to grab underneath, just water. Evidently, these damn massachusetts mud bogs are 3-4 feet of water with weeds on the top- and not much for the tires to grab onto. It really started to sink quick in the 3rd pic- it was up to the fender tops by the time we pulled it out!
here's a short 10 second video of troy blasting through a 2' puddle...

200 plus lb drunk guy + 800 plus lb wheeler + way too much beer = a whole lot of getting unstuck!
WOW, you sure were stuck good, you didn't have any winch malfunctions?

Those look a lot like a peat bog which is a raft of vegetation and moss floating on top of water. Not fun. Glad nothing got too damaged. Otherwise looks like a fun day.
Other then that- had a great day of riding- did about 55 miles (full tank of gas)
