A 2 wheel drive without tire chains pulling a deck trailer is a recipe for disaster if it is a wet fall or if it is raining or you go in dry and it starts to rain.
Better to go in with a 4 x 4 with tire chains from the hard top. No one can ever understand the gumbo in that area until they are calf deep in the ruts.
This gumbo takes months to fully dry out. It is sticky, slippery, and greasy.
The best tires under the sun will plug up with this stuff. Even tire chains are a challenge sometimes.
Rough Service Tow Trucks are usually $700 and that is for the attempt, not the tow. If they cannot extract you from the ditch, you still pay then it is even more money for the next piece of equipment.

Yikes. I'm hoping that I don't end up in a ditch, but if I do, I'm counting on my winch and straps to get me out. If I have to go 15 mph the whole road, so be it.
