I was traveling with one friend in the upper peninsula of Michigan and we missed our turn by about 30 miles due to faulty directions from mapquest. We end up running into Lake Superior and need to head due west to get back on track. We get directions from locals informing us of a national park road that will head right where we want to go.
It turns out that this is an un-maintained road that is muddy and very slick. It is now past midnight, raining, cold and extremely dark outside. We can not drive more than 20mph because of how slick the mud is. Next we run into water covering the entire road after more than an hour of driving. We decide to use four wheel drive and ford the water. We eventually make it out okay but I was never more scared than crashing into a tree or breaking down.
