So....before i post the pics, you all need to know the story behind this.... A friend of mine took his boat out going down the creek behind his house. This being about 2 weeks ago. He didnt anticipate the water being as high as it was, and ended up flipping th aluminum jon boat, and having to cling to a tree branch to keep from being swept downstream.
This leads to the guy with the bronco II trying to find the guy, and get close enough to him with the waders on, to toss him a rope to pull him to safety.
Well, upon driving out through 12" deep water, he managed to find a deep hole, and the bronco floods, and then begins to float downstream through the swamp.
This is when i get the phone call that he needs my help to come pull him out. So I get to him, and hook up the strap, and pull him, having to drive twice back through the deep hole. Water came halfway up the windshield on the jeep ( 7" lift total, 36" iroks) proving that it is necessary for me to have the snorkel.
The pictures are from where we were resetting the strap because the bronco began to float sideways as I was pulling it.
These are all the pictures I have from that night, and just wanted to share them. I wanted to explain the situation, so that no commy-liberals freak thinking I was driving through water with no reason. The guy was in shorts and the water was 42 degrees, doesnt take long to get hypothermic.
