Bonneville Salt Flats today. Whilst the crust looks solid appearances can be deceptive
She was well and truly stuck - the mud was like heavy cement. Glad I had shackles and a tow rope, and a shovel to get the worst away from the wheels (and a new friend with a pickup truck )
Very thorough jetwash due tomorrow to get the remainder of the gunk off.
More pics to follow over the next few days.

Could have been worse, could have sunk through when trying to set the Disco land speed record.
Looks great location, if not a tad toastie.

You'll probably need more than just a jet wash
