It started out as a fun day Jeeping with another couple. We found a mud road, East End Road, at the end of Homer that went straight down with four 90 degree turns and ended on the Kachemak Selo at the head of Kachemak Bay. The tide was out about 200 yards so we decided to walk on the beach, keeping in mind that the silt is soft and the bore tides come fast.
Then Mike decided to do a couple of donuts on the sand, the first one was great but the second one began the trouble, he sunk into the silt mid tire! We put logs under the tires and dug out some of the silt, but the Bay had sucked the Jeep in. We were in the middle of nothing with no one around when we noticed that the tide was moving in FAST. The tide waves were 2 feet and closing in on us.
I was looking thru the binoculars and spotted a truck coming around the bend about 3 miles down. We did not know that a Russian village was hidden on the point and they are not really interested in company. The first truck saw us waving, but he did not slow down. The second truck was a wonderful young man that said he had pulled five cars out during the last week and asked if we had read the signs. OOPS! He realized we were in trouble and tried to pull the Jeep out with his truck but the silt had sucked the Jeep in and it did not budge. He said he would return and hoped it would be in time. He did return with a John Deere tractor and was able to pull us out. By the time the Jeep got out the water was up to the window!
He had us go to a fresh water stream and drive down it to get the salt out of the brakes. The door seals worked because there was only about 2" of water on the floor and nothing else was wet.

 This is silt mixed with coal. You can see the water is far out and the Jeep is deep in!

 The road to trouble!

 The water has arrived!

 The shore area is getting smaller. We tied a rope to the Jeep and Mike stayed inside so we would not have to open doors and let water in.

 The fine young man that basically lifted the Jeep out of the silt! As they say all is well that ends well! Muddy Memories were made with new friends on this trip!
