It is in Hobe Sound FL....The track is about 4 miles at the end of a develpoment called Poinciana Gardens. There is actually a big mud pit in the middle (stayed out).

You did good. 4 high lock is good in sand, you probably could also have left it in 4 high open and been fine too. The key on sand is to keep your momentum going. You really only want to use 4 low lock when crawling over rocks and climbing steep hills, etc. when you are really needing some torque.

Are you crazy....Hummers are not supposed to go in sand. They are supposed to get water sprayed on them, followed by soap, more water, and wax. Why would you go off road when there are so many roads to get you where you need to go?
