Marengo Swamp run

[boncrshr]

Ok, I hate to be constantly changing...but I had the pleasure of speaking with MudBug on the phone yesterday, and since no 6x6world members were going to Marengo, he was kind enough to offer to meet up, and we are going riding in his marshy area...I really was only excited about Marengo because of the possibility of riding with other 6x6world members...so we'll definitely still have some video this weekend.

Look forward to The video. I am glad to hear your not heading to marengo by yourself. I so wanted to run that suicide hole. Enjoy your time with mudbug I will get video of the CAW run!

There's quite a few video clips of this '08 event on youtube already. I googled "merango swamp" and looked for recent posting dates. This one guy has a series of suicide hole vids named "Marengo 2008-1" thru "5".

Roger ,

After watching all five of the Marengo 2008 video,s , that were posted on Utube , I,d say thats one bad #$$!! mud hole ! It did look soupy enough though for an amphib to make it through with some agressive mud tires

I talked to a Guy with a Max IV that went to the Marengo swamp ride , and this is what we missed .

I guess after several hundred 4-wheeler,s , with really aggressive mud tires drove through the Marengo swamp trails , the mud loosened up quite a bit

Mightymax IV , boncrshr , and I , really wanted to go , but I canceled , because I really did,nt want to fight 13 miles of gumbo clay . I figured just as soon as the gumbo clay built up on all of my tires , the amphibious abilities of my Max IV would be over . That happened to the Max dealer I talked to , that went there last year . Once the gumbo clay glazzes over all of your tires , swimming in the water won,t clean it off . You,ll have to find a stick to scrap it off , the Max dealer told me , if you want to swim with your amphib
