I see no palm trees in the background. It can't be Texas, those boys are too smart for that. It looks like the Gulf of Mexico though. Most places its pretty shallow near the shore. On second thought it might just be Texas. LOL rich

Plus, both 4X4's don't have a front plate, which is required in Texas. Not to say it can't happen here, because i watched a guy back a jet ski into the surf with a 2 wheel drive pickup. He didn't come out solo either. I had a 4 X 4 but did not offer up, as i dang well wasn't backing my truck in the water, and he was way out there. Duf

I've been stranded a couple of times and have had strangers come to my aid without any question and have, in turn, helped a few folks out. If I have any future problem I'd love to have that gang around. I know, in the end, everything would work out.

That's what's got me scratching my head... Anyway I don't think it's the Outer Banks of North Carolina either BUT I do know it's not unheard of there to launch dories off trailers on the beach there when the fish are running in the late fall/early winter.

We have a very gradual drop off here, and you can easily go out 50 feet or more with a decent height truck. Duf
