If Pro puts down the Xbox for a few minutes he might post some great pics of the carnage witnessed this weekend. If he e-mails me the video of his run through the tank trap tonight I'll post it up. There were some really crazy idiots there Saturday that were probably more dangerous than anything but once we left the event everyone felt much safer. I almost got run over and we buried Superbeast up the the bumpers (41" bumpers!). All in all it was a good time and probably the wickedest mud I've ever seen. It poured rain the whole day before the bog and most of Saturday too so it made for some great slop. Next year the Cap'n will be ready.

I sent some video to Ivan so hopefully he can figure out how to post it. I'll get some pics together and put them up here in the next day or so. That place is on private property and they only are open during the wet season. The next mud bog is on Jan. 22nd. By my last run there were big trucks with big horse getting stuck on 44" boggers. I didn't figure I had a good chance. But when you have people telling you "If any truck here can make it yours can!" you tend to do stupid things. Besides, I knew Ivan really wanted the opportunity to jump out in the middle of the tank trap and hook my ****** strap up. I guess he just didn't realize the mud was up to my bumpers at that point Neither did I untill I tried to open my door. Nobody was able to make it through after my stuck, untill a big crazy rig on rockwells and 44" boggers took his boggers off and screwed on 54" ag tires. Then he walked on through. As soon as I buy my shop and I've got the room to go nuts its AWN! I can't have somebody able to go through a hole I got stuck in!

I'll get the vid posted tomorrow. Here's a few pictures in the meantime:
The entrance to this grand land of the nastiest mud ever:
The tank trap first thing in the morning before it got nasty:
And believe it or not I even got one of Pro's truck muddy!!! It's not a mall crawler after all.
Links to a few more, here's what happens when you underestimate how nasty that pit is:

This is the ONLY truck to make it through the tank trap after we buried Pro's truck. Originally he had 44" boggers but he wouldn't attempt it after he saw what was happening to everyone else. Those are 54" tires:

I wish I could have gotten a picture of Superbeast stuck in the pit because it was crazy to see a truck that big buried so deep. I know the rear bumper is over 40" high and the mud was up to the bottom of it. We came to a DEAD stop so I got out and found that all 4 boggers were off the ground and the truck was just sitting on axles and frame. It took several HARD pulls to make it budge. Good times.
