Mud pits are great! Invasive species are the pits.

July 12, 2021

Something that I’m sure would surprise a lot of folks is one of my favorite things to do is MUDDING! I just love hitting the trails on my UTV in search of the biggest mud pit I can find and hit the throttle. Some days I make it through. Others, I’m not so lucky.

But every day I’m mudding, I make sure to hose off my UTV, and myself, to make sure I don’t have any unwanted plants or seeds stuck to me before my next mud pit adventure.
