    Must be some serious camouflaged mud!

    Pretty deceptive looking "road" they got there.
    I used to swerve around my hallucinations, now I drive right through them.

    Yep nice track.......built on a river bed.......see pic one.......

    that although the area was dry...

    the original river that formed the valley is still there....just under the road...

    Putting two feet of gravel over a loamy soil base does not make a road suitable for those weight vehicles..

    Looks like fun was had........

    Default funny

    I like the fact that the red truck has a bumper in the third picture but not in the fourth picture. Did they really think they could pull that by the bumper?
