I've driven logging roads in Alberta (Canada) on rainy (torrential) days and nights.
If you did not keep on the centered tracks in all that wet mud (which you couldn't really see but only faintly guess), you were out of luck and stuck in the ditch!
But not stuck regular, stuck in the mud at doors' handles height! ...Not a car, but a big 4x4 truck!
The only way to get out of there is from a larger truck (highway wide) with amphibian wheels that are six feet high and four feet wide (or even more in some of them)!
No other truck with chains, or winches can get you out of there. Once you're in that ditch, your only escape is those huge special trucks they use over there in conditions like those (rain and mud).
I've been stuck there! And from around 1:00 PM in the afternoon, my truck (and all the other trucks of my convoy) was engulfed in the mud up to the top of the doors!
I worked all night long with that special huge truck to get all the trucks out of the ditch. It was like a war zone, and I looked like (well, you can see ...) one of these soldiers who've been through hell and right back at it! ...Not until 6:00 AM in the morning that I could get back to my room (hotel) and have a long shower.
Yeah, that road (logging road) in northern Alberta, on that particular day and night; I will always remember.
(If you google some I'm sure you can find out about those huge amphibian type trucks that they used over there for special missions and all.}
Till the next one ....
