Did he just sink in a big mud hole?


there is no direct way between the trail and the hot springs - you must go around a little. But the guy wanted to return back to the trail from the hot springs in a short way, directly, across the soft muddy terrain. His front end immediately sunk and this is what saved him - if he would drive 10 feet further, I doubt that we would be able to pull him out of the clay mud.
