    Hey Noel, can you Robert or anyone else who is local give me a mud and water report before I leave the house? I already checked the weather-looks like it is going to be a beautiful week for mudding.

    Thanks man, that's some nice footage. We made it into the High Lifter Mud Nationals magazine last year as well with the photos of the year priors run in which we were in the Argo 750HDI.

    Folks go crazy for amphibs there. Don't know how many folks I talked to during the outing.

    We have roped off a large area this last weekend for all to camp together, even the alaskan leaving early (early Sunday morning) should be able to find getting to this spot and out easy. We are roped off to the roads edge and able to pull in BIG rigs! Tents, long trailers, we should be able to get everyone I've seen on here.The wife and I'll be getting back down there Tuesday morning and can send you a goggle pin to locate us.
    Noel, plenty of room for you to pull in and unload too! We are due east of the pits, south of the obstacle course.

    Arctic Cat - Off-road ATVs, UTVs and more
    Argo Adventure - Argo OEM
    Brinson Powersports - Can-Am, Polaris, Sea Doo, Kawasaki dealer
    Broadway Powersports - ATV/UTVs
    Kymco - On-road scooters and motorcycles, off-road ATVs and UTVs
    Performance Powersports - Dealer


    It looks like Argo has some representation at the dealer level! Can't wait to stop by and say hello.
    It's going to be great to have Fritz there,and to see what kind of interest he generates,the quad culture seems to be a hard egg to crack. He might do very well on "trade Ins"

Might be a whole lot of ATVs (HGVs) sitting around the camp fire. Might want to throw in a trolling motor for this one boys!
    Hey, we rig up stuff here in East Texas to overcome those issues, may strap on a 35hp Johnson to the back. As long as there is a somewhat responsible person working the tiller from the back seat, it should work just fine.

    To wet for the quads !!?? To much snow for the quads? To deep swamp for the quads??
    And they call those things"atvs" (ALL terrain vehicles!!!???? BAAAAAAAAAA!!!!)
    They should change the name to:
    STVs, Some terrain vehicles
    Or : FWVs, Fair weather vehicles
    Or : HGVs, High ground vehicles

    Need I keep going?? LOL. Wake up quad owners.

    It looks like the park and surrounding areas got between 3-4 inches of rain, on top of what was already a damp situation. The swamps are reported to be full and water is flowing heavily into the area. Areas that were dry when I was there a few days back are now underwater.

    Friends I have in several 4 wheeler clubs have told me that their clubs are concerned that conditions may be too wet for their vehicles. It should be perfect conditions for AATVs.

    Noel, where you camping?
    After many years of adventure living, while in the employ of the U.S. Army, and accustomed to all the hardships of living off the land, turning over logs to harvest grubs, skinning snakes, and boiling scorpions, all while keeping the rain off with a canopy fashioned from pine needles, a tarp or a poncho, for this trip I have opted for the Holiday Inn Express just down the road. Breakfast served at 630am, manager's reception at 530pm.
