Toyota 4Runner Overlanding at the Barracks in Utah - River Crossing and Getting Stuck in the Mud!

Myself and several other 4Runner friends all meet at the Barracks trail in Southern Utah for a fun filled weekend of overlanding.
Drone footage shows the beautiful geographic landscape where we both camped and played.
Along this trail you will cross the river nearly a dozen times. Depending on snow pack and water runoff, the river can sometimes be deeper and flow stronger than expected. One of our deer 4runner friends attempt to climb the small waterfall just off the trail and finds himself stuck in the mud. No, not just stuck in the mud. His 4runner completely sunk into the mud like quicksand! The water nearly reached his intake! It took Three 12,000 lb winches and Three 4x4 Overland rigs to pull this poor beast from almost certain catastrophic failure and set him free.
This was a great weekend and we had a blast with all our friends. Enjoy this short video and be safe out there!
