Hi,
On Sunday, I had my first real try at MUD!!!
My Fiance and I went to the Dry Lake Bed near Boulder City, NV.
To our surprise... it wasn't dry! There was probably about 4-5 feet of water in the middle that spanned about 1/2 mile in diameter. The entire perimeter was pure mud.
After figuring out what speed/power I needed to use to get through the mud, we both began to relax a bit (we were freaking out because we thought we'd get stuck with nobody around).
Some of the watery areas were a litte dangerous. I smooshed my front license plate a bit. (was going too fast).
Man... talk about fun. The VX just ATE IT UP!
The most fun was a 2 foot deep, car width, 50 foot long puddle that we powered through (length wise)! NO PROBLEM! This VX never ceases to amaze me.
Unfortunatly, I don't have any pics of the lake bed. I have aftermath pics though! ;Dy;
