GMA Meteorologist Stuck in the Mud

I was watching Good Morning America today and happened to see Meteorologist Ginger Zee get stuck in the mud during a segment about how low Lake Mead is getting. Not the greatest clip ever, but I thought I'd share it with y'all anyway.

Ginger Zee A little “stuck in the mud”

GMA fans fear for meteorologist Ginger Zee after she SINKS in ‘quicksand’

It's kind of ironic for me, because not more than two nights ago I was starting to watch Dave's videos on MPV trails, and happened to watch "The Lake - First Two Trips," all about MPV trips to Lake Mead.

Get the cameras ready. The "movie set" has been prepared and is waiting. 8-)

I follow a 4x4 recovery channel on youtube that's based near Lake Powell in Utah, as the lake dries up people are getting adventurous and driving further and further out on the lake bed. It's fun till you get too close to the water and break through the crust, then you're utterly screwed lol. I've seen some trucks literally bobbing up and down floating in the muck that needed two or three other vehicles to winch them back out.
You could go out with a shovel, park in an out of the way area and with a little digging have one hell of a sinking spot.

Any sites look ideal for "on-location" shoots? Classic favorite videos like "Quicksand Naturally" come to mind. ;)

Oh how I wish! Would've loved to have seen her sink a little longer and deeper before having to get pulled out :P

The videos that resulted from the trips to Lake Mead were some of my favorites from the early days of MPV. "Classics" for sure, as you said.

It is sad to see the lake getting so low, but like you said, it just keeps revealing more great sinking spots. Hopefully they'll get unseasonably wet seasons out there soon.
