That looks like friendly mud. Out where we ride if you find mud it's like red clay, it does not just spray off, will stain the finish if left, and adds about 50 lbs to the quad before you can clean it off. [img][/img]</end quote></div>

yeah it isn't too bad,doesn't stain..just takes ALOT of water to flush it out/..it is like trying to rinse off peanut butter. Then you have to pick all the fine grass roots out of everthing. I know all about the red clay..it sucks....
That is the back yard out in front my house I have a blue/green clay by the creek..and it does stain..I have to use an acid based cleaner to get it off the tires..

You know listening to it run the pit sounds like a high powered speed boat going across water! [IMG][/IMG]</end quote></div>

Now that you mention it does sound alot like a high power speed boat..lol..i used to watch those on the lake when I was a kid. BTW in case any one is wondering that was no where near WOT...I was getting pelted by mud enough as it is.

To post pics host them on photobucket.

Ya, that's nothing deep by any means, but at least it is mud and not just a water hole. Looks pretty slickery too...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Same thing we have at our cabin. Wet clay, but it's orangish. Not quite as bad as the red clay farther north. Then when it's dry, it's dusty.
