Wharton State Forest - 7/14/2007 - Mud Run

Muddydawg75 -> Wharton State Forest - 7/14/2007 - Mud Run (7/15/2007 10:54:48 AM)
Well, I ended up meeting up with a guy I work with and some of his friends. We took my Duece, 3 Suzukis and a Cherokee out and ran some trails. I don't have all the pics from them yet so most of the ones I took is of the other vehicles. I pulled one Samari out because the others didn't have enough weight to pull him out. I got wiched out of one hole because I high centered my front skid plates. I cannot describe the sounds coming out of that Samari and that 9000lb winch when he tried to yank me out. Probably the best part was running into a group of Land Rovers playing in the holes. I was the last one to cross this one big area and the leader of the Rovers said... ALL RIGHT... an H2... I haven't pulled one of those out of the mud yet.... I need one for my collection. He was denied.... I made it through... Anywho.... some pics!!

My buddies go almost every weekend.... My truck took a bloody beating though... Some of these trails are just big enough for the Samaris and I took my Duece through them... I did have to pass a couple of holes just because they were so narrow... BUT.... I wish I had a picture of this one field I was in... I did 4lo lock doughnuts until I saw 200 degrees on my tranny temp... I had 6 guys just standing there cheering me on... and I almost forgot the Land Rover pics.... Rumor had it that there was a Unimog out there... but we never saw it...

The mud is very deceptive because it isn't dirt... it is sand.... and it will eat your ride up in seconds. I drove over something that looked like hard pack and found myself digging 18" ruts. I almost had to be yanked out of it.
