There's a lot of places you can get to in a car. They also improved a lot of the roads and with the drought things have been dry. The real reason I got stuck is the FWD lost grip on the incline past the muddy spot. I had been through that spot twice with no issue. I had to back down the incline to find a place to turn around and I got the front end stuck on the center because, well I was going in reverse in the dark.

Lesson learned. If I see too much water and mud I don't chance it. My enemy has just been inclines. Once that weight shifts back there is just no grip going up a hill.
