Hey, if I was there I'd be with you. I miss the mud in Oregon, land of the temperate rainforest. We used to go mudding at least once a month. Some don't like the mess, but at the time I was a firefighter and just took it to work and hooked an 1.5" hose up to a fire hydrant and let her rip.

That was the good old days. Easy to wash. Could also just drive it for a few hundred miles in the rain storms and let the wind and road water clean it too.

Rained here yesterday. We have not had a day over 80 yet this year, which is very uncommon. Still have the furnace coming on at night. We still have snow at 6,000', which is where many of our popular wheeling spots are. The Rubicon, Fordyce Creek and High Lakes are all under a lot of snow.
