Shale Beach Shortcut

So here's a secret, I actually liked this trail (don't tell the wife)... just after getting stuck and then not having a reliable winch for the remainder of the trail made it nerve-wracking. We got stuck at waypoint 4, even with a 2.5 lift and 35-inch tires, I was turtled as soon my front tires went into the water. I'll add some video here of that moment. I am lucky that my winch was as waterproof as advertised and lucky that the control box was out of the water (barely). I was able to safely strap to a tree and self-extract but later inspection found muddy water in my intake, I'm very lucky that I didn't hydrolock. DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THIS PART OF THE ISLAND. This marshy trail is a vehicle killer and in hindsight, I'd probably not do it again without a crew of folks with me.
