Long story short, I forgot how to drive after my brain detached itself from my eyes and reality.
I ended up like this:
There really isn't anything under the driver's side tires but hopes it doesn't rollover and rotting vegetation...
Closer to being out.
And I'm out with some extra weight attached...
Lesson learned here kiddo's is don't let your MIL ride with you down a freaking goat path. 
I did that exact thing in a ditch when I was a teenager, with my father's truck. He handed me a shovel. I spent 9 hours digging that truck out. I had to reshape the entire ditch it was sitting in. The really depressing part, was the backhoe sitting 100 yards away, he wouldn't let me use. 
That was the last time I ever got his truck stuck doing something stupid.
Glad you avoided any bent sheet metal.
I may drive like a girl, but I've never done that.
A buddy of mine once buried his new Z71 to the frame rails in some soupy mud out near West Alton.
I tried pulling him out...with my Impreza. It still had the 1.8 engine and straight pipe on it.
We hooked a long tow strap to it and I did my best drag race launch...
BRRRRAAAAAAAP BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmwahhhhh buh buh buh buh...
Yeah, the berkeleyer didn't budge. We wound up grabbing a chain, a come-along and some shovels. We pulled it out using a big tree as an anchor point.
I sank my old 1995 F150 down to the framerails in my mom's garden after a rain. 33" All-Terrains were no match for the mud. Had to go to my uncle's farm to get his IH 1466 to get it out, the Astro van and Chevy K3500 wouldnt budge it. Thank God for local farmers.
I had a 92 Explorer that was abused. Burried down to the frame once, sank 1/4 way up the doors, and broke more parts than I can remember. I kinda miss it. I would never do those things in the wifes '12 Pathfinder.
In reply to Ranger50:
nice recovery
I have a picture somewhere of the aftermath of me trying to "ford a stream" in my own back yard, in a Nissan hardbody.
I had to be rescued by my 90 year old one-armed neighbor who pulled me out with a John Deere garden tractor. Talk about embarrassing.
My father used to tell a story from the late '40s (when he was a teenager) about hooning around in a field with the shop truck from my grandfather's Chevy dealership, and sticking it bad one night. One of his buddies was a bakery delivery driver so they hiked back to town, got the bakery van, and got it stuck trying to recover the shop truck. So they hiked back into town, got the OTHER bakery van, and stuck it too. By this time, dawn was coming, and all the vehicles needed to be out of the field and back on the job... luckily (and unluckily, because he was pissed) the farmer came out with his mule team. The mules dug in and hauled out all 3 trucks, 1 at a time. Dad and his buddies had a LOT of making up to do after that.
You guys just made me realize that I've never really been stuck in a car with the exception on one time in snow/ice. I've dug out more than my fair share of four wheelers/motorcycles, and I've gotten tractors stuck twice, but never in a car or truck that I can recall. Weird.
Not sure what the title has to do with the story. but it does bring back memories of my younger days.
Bout the only thing I got stuck was a Mirage in our back yard. All that took to get out was a bit of wood under a drive wheel. Oh yeah, and I opened up the airbox for extra POWAH, since I was 15 at the time and that was how my brain worked.
I did learn that a Mitsu with a 1.5 and 3 speed auto could do a burnout though, which was neat info to have at the time.

It's tongue and cheek for my choice of available recovery vehicles. 
Only times I've been stuck were when some other dipE36 M3 was driving. Usually preceeded by "Um. Hey man, I think this is a really dumb idea." Got stuck twice in one day with my dumb berkeley ex brother in law while helping him move some stone from grandma's barn.
