Trip is one week away. Looks like with the weather in the area that it could be muddy. The main road we will be travelling is a four season road so we can look at side trips as they come up and evaluate at that time. Looking at the maps I do not see any alternate routes around what could be mud holes so I am thinking that most of the roads should be fairly stable in wet weather, or people are smart enough to stay off them....

Part of the adventure is the adversity.
To warn others, if you have never encountered Owyhee gumbo mud.....
Owyhee gumbo mud is some of the worst natural muds out there. It is about the same consistency as brick mortar and can create some odd driving behaviors on a motor vehicle. Also, it is a real pain to clean off. I highly recommend removing it before it dries out completely.
We are not going out there to mud bog, but as long as we can maintain forward motion at a reasonable speed (slow) we will attempt to reach our destinations. If at anytime we deem a route getting unsafe, we will return to the main four season road and continue to attempt the next destination.
I will be geocaching at some of the sites. So if you are interested in geocaching or already geocache then feel free to join in.
Remember, These trips are not guided trips and you will be responsible for your own safety. See you there.
