second pic shows a winch line behind the jeep but don't know what it is connected to.  obviously didn't help, prob killed the battery trying.  then the 5th shows a winch line across the ice so ... well who knows.

license plate looks to have some symbols on it. it ain't from here.
 

has about as much sense and the mentality of some guys i've seen out here. 'no matter how deep i'll try it!'

 maybe if he hit it faster he'd have gotten through it.

Like skipping a stone across the water?

I've heard a story about a mustang hitting a slew at a high rate of speed....... skipped about half way across before it sunk.

That would be a fun thing to get the Myth Busters to try. I would like to see a mustang skip accross the water like a stone.

That's an oldie  ,   damn good one though. It was left overnight and froze in the pond  ,  I think a Caterpillar was used to  finally extract it.  Some one emailed a series of those pics to me with a story several years ago .
