No Man's Land - High Island to Sabine Pass (SE Texas)

Gonna have to make this trip...

 

I’ve always been interested in this. Back in 2011, we attempted this in my 2007 2WD Tacoma Prerunner. Huge, huge mistake!! A few miles in, the conditions grew worse, I decided to turn around and go back to High Island. I turned around on what LOOKED like packed sand, and promptly buried my truck. I felt like a total complete idiot!

So there we were, out in the middle of nowhere, stuck. My lady friend was in a much better mood, than I was. She laughed, grabbed us a couple of drinks from the cooler, and said “someone in a 4X4 will come along and pull us out, soon.

Well, fortunately, she was right. A really nice guy, in a Jeep Wrangler, came along. He was scratching his head and said “I’ve been driving these beaches for a long time and I’ve never seen a Tacoma get stuck”. He didn’t realize my truck wasn’t a 4X4. In reality, he had never seen anyone that was dumb enough to attempt that drive in a 2WD, until that day. When I told him my truck wasn’t a 4X4, he understood the problem.

To make a long story short, the guy was kind enough to pull me out. Now that I have a 4WD, 4Runner, I might make a second attempt.

 

Wonder how long that suburban has been out there. Going to be fun to remove.
