I agree, I guess the "Don't mess with Texas" slogan doesn't apply in the park. Probably someone picking up all those aluminum beer cans could cash them is for a down payment on an Argo.

Nice vids, I never been there but was wondering about traffic congestion especially amongst the quads. Did having an AATV open up other areas for you guys, thus avoiding the line ups?

Yeah ,I hate to see all of the empty plastic cups and beer cans littered along the trail too ,but this is what happens when you get thousands of people drinking beer on 4-wheelers that only care about having a good time and nothing else. This park probably got about 10 inches of rain by the time the mud nationals started. It rained off and on for the first three days of this event. Yes, having an amphib opened up all kinds of trails that the 4-wheeler crowd avoided because of the soft mud. The majority of the 4-wheelers road up and down the raised up high line and to the large open sand pit where every one parties at. Lots of times the atv traffic was so bad that they were lined up bumper to bumper for a mile. This happened because of the narrow bridges over the creeks. Any time we needed to drive back to the main camp we road along either side of the raised high line while the 4-wheelers watched and shot video's and pictures of us waiting in traffic.

No disrespect to the high dollar quads but it is more than obivious that an old Argo or a Max with a set of Adair tracks can run circles around the best high dollar quads in soft mud. In this really soft mud a Mudd Ox with a set of Adair tracks would have been ideal for pulling out all those stuck machines. You kinda feel sorry for all those guys smoking their belts and destroying their machines trying to get through just some of the minor mud holes.

I can't confirm this but I don't believe that any of the quads or side by sides could move down the mud lane next to the power lines that David's Frontier moved through with such ease.

Dan, "over 700 hours on the vanguard" on the video you mention are just "my" hours, I traded her in with 1140 hours on the old girl! It just keeps getting better doesn't it. Could somebody please explain the quad, side by side thing, I just don't get it. I do own a "quad" though, it's 80hp.,4WD,loader, and does a wonderful job working up the back 40.

cool place to ride but it sucks when you see garbage on the trail when I go camping,fishing I always find other peoples garbage and usually pack out more than I brought.

Here is some video of the 2012 Mud Nationals, I will have another video to post shortly, hope you enjoy it!

Check out the guy on the quad at the 4:04 mark-you know he has gotta be thinking "Man I gotta get one of those things"

@ 3:35 YOU GO DAVE!!!!!
guy @ 3:53 "I want one of those things!"

All-in-All YOU guys ROCKED!!!! I can't help but wonder how many of the folks that you guys drove by were thinking: CLEAN?!? Look how CLEAN they are, no mud on 'em, hardly ANY at all, how in the HECK is THAT?!?!?!

All I can say is WOW...that is some wicked mud and some really nice "stuck" machines...funny though I did not notice any of the machine with tracks stuck....excellent.

[rickga]

Dan, That's a great video. Awesome mud holes and a bunch of em. Looks like great riding out there for you guys with tracks

[foxvalley]

Wow! That was truely awesome! It didn't look like there was anywhere they couldn't go. I almost got a little misty watching my old girl all fixed up, and sporting adairs, breeze thru the muck so easily. I saw a lot of envious faces watching as the crew paraded by. Great job with the editing and the music, you really did a fantastic job.

Dan

Awesome video! Thanks for posting it! The last video that you posted shows me in my Argo frontier driving right down the middle of some really soft mud that none of the four wheelers or side by sides were able to drive through. I did'nt avoid any mud hole that I saw and drove down the middle of the worst ones that I saw in front me. This is the video that I was waiting to see.
