Speaking as someone that has gotten his truck stuck way too many times, why the hell would you call CHP? Call a friend or flag down the nearest 4wd truck. He’s going to enjoy the expensive ticket he’s about to get.

Steelhead are starting to drop eggs now that we are approaching the end of the season, pretty inconsiderate time to 4by in the river, don’t worry though Fish n’ Game will write him out a hefty forced donation for his time! 😂

Water is really good for your differentials when you leave it in there for a while makes the motor work really good too squeaky clean

I’ve crossed there so many times I couldn’t say how many times in my Broncos, and I’ve never got stuck I guess it was to deep this time. The truck must have no 4 wheel drive which is just plain ignorant if it wasn’t 4 wheel drive you deserve to get stuck I’m just curious as to why is CHP would give you a ticket for getting stuck in the river
