Stuck in the sand

On Sun. everyone cleared out and many sites were available. We selected an unoccupied one with a gorgeous view across the reservoir. We registered for it and moved our RV. Except we got stuck in the sand. Luckily a guy nearby offered a shovel so my husband shoveled out the rear wheels where we put boards down and back out onto the road.I didn't get a picture of us stuck there but this is what the sand looked like after we backed out. When your contemplating how to get 14,000 lbs out of deep soft sand the last thing you think of is taking a picture of your predicament.
In the background you can see the site we were planning to get to.
This would have been the view from the new site.
We returned to the booth to release this site. The guard pulled the card and showed us the sticker that said 4 wheel drive only for this site. That is the sort of information you would like before you attempt to enter the site. But much like the AC going out and delaying our trip so we were forced to go to this camp ground, this turned out to be a fortuitous event. In fact we said, maybe this is a good thing as we will now go and look at some of the less developed campgrounds. So off we drove to Broken Arrow after checking with the state park employee and being reassured that it was OK for us to take our RV.
