(-23) Per pilot's statement: "at approximately 4:00 pm on June 18, 2006 I received vectors from lou approach to 07KY "Blue Lick." The weather was VFR with 5 to 6 miles visibility, ceilings were about 2500 to 3000 ft. I entered downwind for a normal left hand traffic pattern. My final approach was stable and speed was about 60 to 70 with full flaps. I had just a touch of power in 1000 to 1100 RPM because I could see the field was wet and wanted to bring it down slow and soft. Upon landing I felt the main wheels touch down so I brought the power back to idle, I held the yoke back until the nose wheel let itself down. I tapped the brakes to see if I had traction and it yawed sharply to the right and started to slide. I was headed toward a hangar and other airplanes so I added a touch of power and regained directional control. Upon adding power I noticed the engine burped a little and I did not have enough room (maybe 500 feet) to safely perform a go around. I was able to maintain directional control with the rudder to avoid sliding into other aircraft or buildings. The aircraft slid on the wet grass, struck the fence and ended up in a ditch at the end of the runway."
