Hooray for rain…
We got our first good rain in a long time last Friday. We got several inches which was enough to make some really good mud to play in. I was out at the ranch on Saturday and took the chance to ‘check on some roads’ that were supposed to be graded and worked on last week. The mud out there is mostly limestone so it is very thick and sticky. It clogs your tires in seconds leaving no traction but that doesn’t stop the fun. You just head into the muddy bits with a bit of speed and you’ll be just fine. I also got to introduce my son to the joy of mudding in a 4×4. I found a hole that had about 24″ of water in it and dove right in time and time again. The downside to the fun is the cleanup job I have this week because the Defender is caked in mud now.
I took this pic when I got out to scout an old jeep trail on the side of the mountain. You can see how caked the tires get out there.
