Bogged again

This rain has been fantastic and Id like to say we have had enough of it but who knows when its going to come again in this ever changing climate. So we battle on through what ever is thrown at us. Today it was a day of getting vehicles bogged. I crossed a little dam overflow gully this afternoon, one which I had crossed many times before over the past few days. Today however the gully wasnt going to let me out of its clutches. So with the ute bogged to the axles I fetched then stupidly tried to drive it through the same gully next to the ute.

The tractor was obviously going to take another tractor help out however we, with much effort, jacked up the ute and managed to get some solid objects under the wheels that enabled the ute to be back out and towed to safe ground.
