Well, didn't get national coverage like wading near Miami, but happy to be off Ogle.Meadows for a shower after 5 days without nuttin.

We surfed my 90 down the mud slides between me and Pensacola NC and there to Bolens Creek and. backdoor To Burnsville.

I wish I could post pix much less video, but not hapoening yet. I might get.one or two shots.to
work?
Good, bad and ugly to come.

I swear it's under there somewhere, but the drivewag ain't great. Do-able, but.I like my quad half axels and i pput a 6" bash plate on the tow receiver so you can drop into anything and pop it right back out. Them Falken paddles waded on down but tossed mud on the roof and beyond.

Driving on road mud not = offroad. Mud setting slick as snot.on muddy wet.pavement especially downhill, I get best.results.in GrassGravelSnow.

6-8" mud, sure. Momentum ain"t nobody's friend downhill.

I'm in Charlotte and we took a hit (mostly a lot of downed trees) but nothing close to the mountains. Had to be a heck of a trip getting out of there. I don't think anyone on the national level has any idea how bad it is up there. Will be months/years to rebuild and tremendous loss of life still to be counted
