mud

I do quite a bit of off road driving. I haven't needed to yet, but if the situation were to arise, could I pull my friends car or truck out of snow or mud if it were to get stuck? And is it better to use one of the tow/recovery eyes, or the trailer hitch?

I live in Battle Ground, Washington (30 minutes north of Portland) and I'm looking for some fun places to off-road, get sideways, and get muddy! Any of my PNW brothers know of some cool places?

Since this is the off road section lets post dirty pictures of our Crosstreks! Here is a couple pictures from some fun I had today with fellow subie friends. Here in the northwest we have a large amount of Subaru enthusiast who often get together :) IMG_1884 by briangabel0, on Flickr IMG_1887...
