It’s a great photo that has a ton of attention and if you haven’t been in this situation then bless your soul. Many trips through the mud is what has convinced me to get on the rocks 🇺🇸

The best part of that picture is how easily it helps me to pick my anonymous panel for the last month this year.

Congratulations @John Cooper! Awesome pictures from all. I voted for John because I’ve been in similar situations. It’s all fun and games until water is running in the tub lol.

I learned a long time ago I don’t need to ever do that again

I agree and don't understand all the dislike for the picture... But then my opinion doesn't much matter...

Wonder who'll end up being on this anonymous panel? Doesn't seem as fair as allowing the forum to pick their favorite picture...

Yep - I was wondering if that water filled ditch to the viewer's right could be straddled...

Possibly, I'd turn around before I did that again.

Was with a 4 door JK on 37's and he buried himself in the next one of those and got mud in his clutch. I had to tow him off the trail and across the island to a car wash. He was able to get it moving well enough to drive the 11 hours home and replace his clutch.

You guys are all just scaredy cats.

The next time our group goes on a ride and we encounter a massive mudhole like that, I promise to bravely stand by and watch @John Cooper go through first.

While I'll agree with the old saying about 5 minutes of fun then 5 days of cleaning..... And yes I dislike dirt falling into my eyes but I ain't turning around just cause there's a little mud in my way.
