I spent a few years living by Applegate Lake as a kid. It's beautiful country.
The best made plans....
Dream about that bike sunk up to the rear axle in the mud 20 feet further along. Then dream about trying to get it out of there, alone.I can stare at a photo like that and daydream for a long time.

I was going to guess High Rock Canyon, but when I quoted the photo I saw the file name. Wanna know how I recognized it?

And I hate when THAT happens. It's always "fun" trying to get a bike out of somewhere you shouldn't have taken it to begin with.I hate when that happens!
It turns out that even though the water is really deep, it's pretty solid if you stay in the wheel tracks. I'm sure you discovered that as well.
Ultimately to get my bike out, we had to lean it over to the left, move the wheels out of the hole then tip it up again, over and over, until we could push it over the edge and into the water. Then I just fired it up and rode it out. It was an awful lot of work that could have been avoided by proper scouting. Lesson learned.
