I was in my later 29s and was a merchandisers for a national retailer. I was in FL on this trip and decided to check out some trails on in a National Forest in Central Florida. I followed the signs on this trail when the road came out into an open area that became very sandy. I had two options.. back up or go forward. I chose the later as I didn’t recall a place to turn around and didn’t want to have to back up for a mile. About 1/2 through the sandpit, my s10, 2wd Chevy, started spinning . Didn’t think anything about it as I was moving still so thinking all is good. Wrong! I moved a few more feet when my tires were spinning and not moving. Put the truck in reverse, and when the sand and clay hit the frame of my truck, along with the sound of tires spinning, I immediately lost a load. I wasn’t going no where. Every time I would attempt to drive forward or in reverse, seems like I was drizzling again. Eventually I was able to gain traction after about 20 minutes and got off that trail.
Now every time I’m on a muddy road or sand pit riding around, it just happens naturally and have to make sure I stop and unleash the load.
