that salt lake bed is scary stuff , we have some small salt flats on the farm and when their dry i wouldnt drive anything on them. Its almost like ice,hard as a rock on top but if you break through theres no bottom .
I drove my xr 500 honda across one of them in the fall when it was popcorn fart dry ,the stuff was hard as heck until i got further out. by the time i was done i needed a 4x4 truck and 200 ft of rope to pull the bike out. I was worried about myself for a few seconds cause i was pulling and pushing the bike and found myself up to my waist in the goop. its just like quicksand
The pull it takes to get stuff like that out is amazing

yep takes some skill to run the rigs . Pic of me in the early 80s with a rig i drove from time to time . Some block and tackle low with the cable is better then pulling off the boom end .
