        That,s what I keep telling every one I know that owns an amphib! Mudders magazine rates river run, atv park as the best atv park in Texas , and in the top 10 through out the whole US. This is because of the variety of terrain that it offers ,and also the great facilities there. The new owners are now building air conditioned cabins that will sleep 8-10 people ,with a real toilet connected , for $75-$80 a night. The goal I,ve been told is to have 25 of these cabins built ,and a total of 120 RV hook ups as well. Free showers for 12 people on each side. Car wash for $1.00 that last 15 minutes. On site mechanic. Park open 24/7 .

          Alright! Mighty Max will be there to day view his new Argo 650 HD, hardwood camo, winch, brush guard, 25" Argo swimmer tires, Adair 14 1/2 wide swimmer-mudder tracks. Tell all the high lifted quads in East Texas to get ready! I hope that I will be bringing Lee and his Mudbug equipped Frontier! We are gonna have some really well set up machines, Tim of Adair Argo is also going to be there with at least two machines, one might be an 8x8 Frontier with the 14 1/2 inch swimmer tracks that swim over 5 mph on the Frontier 8x8. Its gonna be fun! Also looking for Roger with his conquest! Finally get to see the man in action! Wow!

                Here are some video clips of Mudbugs Mudd Ox with the Adair swimming tracks shot at river run atv park, this machine was unstoppable, we went through every swamp and bad mud hole we could find and the machine never got close to being stuck. Tim Adair and David pulled several other machines out of awful mud conditions, this machine is simply awesome! I saw this machine up to the top of the tracks in mud and it just kept going, never saw anything like it! We went through several mud holes and swamp areas that were much worse than this little hole.

                Robert and his wife (in the wheeled Bigfoot) after watching the performance of the Adair equipped bigfoot bought the Adair track equiped Bigfoot and will upgarde their current Bigfoot to the Adair track swimming track system



                Noel with his Awesome MaxII with 25" mudbugs, very impressive machine!

                  Great videos guys, looks like a great place to ride for our type machines. Lets see more of these! Tracks looked pretty effective in the mud also.

                  Great guys and show some more!
                  Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways , cigar in one hand, whiskey in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!!!"

                    This is Robert (bilimrl1). Riding with all these amphibs was awesome. They Adair Tracks were unstoppable. I've rode a ton with quads and have always been the baddest machine with my argo and vampires, not this weekend. Places quads would have fought to get through and may have not even attempted, it was rough on me and the wife, getting stuck numerous times while watching the tracked vehicles idle through made me fell like the little quad sitting on the side line watching and wishing. Not anymore, I own one of Tim's Adair track machines as of yesterday! It was a blast at River Run. Those tracks do it ALL!

                      Congratulations Robert, I enjoyed running with you and your wife, she is a trooper, I look forward to seeing some video of your new tracked Bigfoot.

                      This is Roberts wife driving the Adair Argo bigfoot, this machine has 22" runamucks and was unstoppable. I followed this machine all day and never saw mike get stuck. He pulled out of bad mud holes like it was nothing and walked around stuck vehicles all day. Wow! By the way this was a very bad mud hole!

                      This second mud hole Robert is driving through is a very big challenge for a wheeled machine

                          Handles wonderfully on the trail, highly recommended. Never a tire spinning on the wrong side at the wrong time. Turns tighter than any ATV in high range with no effort. I drove all day though impossible conditions and never got stuck (One high center-my fault-testing the limitations of the machine) I climbed out of mud holes and went through mud I would have never been able to make with the Max. Never had to use low range the entire day. I did one test of the counter rotation and that was enough for me. Drove with with one hand on the wheel and the other hand holding my little dog Biscuit. This machine is incredible. Loads of power in high range and would run down the road over 25 MPH with tracks. The gearing and clutching are simply wonderful!

                            A couple of videos of Noel driving my 650 HD through a bad mud pit (Everything else got stuck here)





                            some more river run video, at the 2:27 mark you'll get to see Roger powering through the mud with his hopped up Argo. You should have seen how intimidated the quads were with Rogers presence and his Argo blazing by them while they tried to get through something technical. What a show Roger brings with him. I saw Roger cross a pond come out of the water and climb a 45 degree incline covered with brush. There were about 20 people and ten quads watching the show. Rogers machine looked like a bullet coming out of the water and every ones mouth drop opened when his machine came out of the water and climbed the bank without an effort.

                              Wow, This has been an interesting experience trying to post a reply.

                              I just wanted to say that I LOVE that Argo, Roger. Not used to seeing you Flat Landing. But the way you zipped thru that mud, I knew it could only be you.
