Until experienced first hand, people just don't realize how fast the tide comes in. They also underestimate the power of water to move sand out from under the tires. Many think that when the water is just starting to reach where they are, they still have time to move. Fact is, if your tires are touching water, it's already too late.

Check out the pictures. This van and trailer were totally destroyed and retrieved one piece at a time.

What he is thinking?

"but... but... My truck is a 4WD! A 3/4 ton 4WD. How can I be stuck?!?!"

Seen that way too many times. 4wd does not repeal the laws of physics.

It looks like the surf retrieved it one piece at a time. Time to look for a new camper.
