Went out for a drive today and got muddy. This gravel bar is in Burlington, WA. There was a nasty looking mud whole going out to the gravel bar so I went around it. Decided to drive thru on the way out. It was almost up to the hubs? I plan to go back with a go pro and get some video.

Cool old pictures and stories! Reminds me of when I had my 67 back in Oregon.

Cheers

They are PR78-16 Buckshot Mudders. 33" tall and about 10" wide. My nephew is digging out his Go Pro for me to use. Should be fun!

Cool video, thanks for sharing. Looks like a fun trail. Plenty of water but firm under foot.

I love the video. :clap: You were obviously taking it easy to save the Go Pro. ;) And probably because you have the top off now also. Wouldn't want to be slinging mud all over yourself. :D
