The stream we drove down a good quarter mile or so. Parts got pretty deep too (~2-3 feet).

Only person to get stuck was me. In a 2 foot deep rut. I thought I had missed it, but apparently not. To get me unstuck, we had all 7 other people get in the bed of my truck and i backed out :D

[DMANbluesfreak]

Goood times. Make sure to watch the video. Theres a shot of me airing the front tires on some ATV woops. It freakin hurt, and I can't believe nothing broke.

[fortplainman]

i saw that holy crap haha.

[rebelbowtie]

nice. i like the flex picture.

[RoughnReadyZ71]

Looks like yall had alot of fun. I wish we had something like that around where I live.

[JohnnyU]

Ew, you guys played in the mud puddles. I went around most of those when we were there.
:puke:


You'll have to come down for one of the Backfield Bogs next year:
www.earthresin4x4.com You'd enjoy them, its just a big mud puddle....:chair:

[killswitchfan13]

nice guys i wish i had a place like that around here to wheel

[Sbc_inside]

The Badlands is always a blast. Good pics by the way.

How long were you guys there? I can show ya some "real" mud holes if you come down on the 5th. :biggrin:

[DMANbluesfreak]

We got there around 1130 attica time, and left at close. We were actually cornered into a mine field of deep ruts at about 20 minutes to close, and I was worried we'd be stuck there and fined or whatever, but we got out JUST in time haha.

If all goes as planned, I'll have my M/Ts by the time Dec 5 rolls around so I can't wait to see some real mud holes (plus it hasn't rained in over 2 weeks, so it was pretty dry overall - except for the stream).

[Sbc_inside]

Yeah, last time we went it was pretty dry. But there are some holes there that just never dry up. I know of a few that will put the hood under water in a few spots.

My problem over there is when it comes to mud is.....it is either too easy, or i have no chance at getting through.

[DMANbluesfreak]

Yeah sounds about right for a stock-ish truck.

[rebelbowtie]

idk bout there but the mud we have here is easier to run when there is water on top. the mud turns to peanut butter when there is no water on top.

[DMANbluesfreak]

Yeah its the same way here, for the most part.

[rebelbowtie]

the local mud spot here i wont go near it if there is no water on top.

[DMANbluesfreak]

Yeah, let me know when it is.

[Underpowered]

looks like a good time.

[DMANbluesfreak]

looks like a good time.

Twas. Hopefully you can come up on Dec 5th and join in the FSC fun :D (even though you'd not be wheeling the FSC - or would you?)

[Underpowered]

nope, would not be wheelin it, to far of a drive to risk breaking anything.

[DMANbluesfreak]

Yeah, I gotcha. Especially when you're towing something too.

[Underpowered]

yeah. it would suck to be 3+ hours away with a broke truck. i'll stick to wheeling the Heep, who cares if i break it.

and as i said in my thread, maybe even a new Heep, trading my 77 for a cherokee tomorrow

[DMANbluesfreak]

HAHA, good call. Hope the trade works out well.

Yeah.....i was going to say something about that. If we do make it down to your neck of the woods this spring im expecting a trailer ride home if i break anything!

We actually on second thought....with your outstanding luck with trailers i might as well just fix it down there if anything breaks.
