my younger years...

Alright, so I grew up in the hills outside of St. Louis. http://www.buchananmudfest.com/ This is a link to the place I spent most of my high school life. It is a 1000 acre "farm" (a missouri farm, which means nothing grows, except maybe some cows) with the Meremac river running along the edge. Twice a year they spend a week flooding one of their fields with river water in order to host a 3,500 person mud event. To give you a taste of where I come from, the 25 cent power was place by my parents house has a permanent sign stating that "all mudders must use bays 1 and 2." Check out the video links on the left had side of that link. That was our form of off-roading... when all you really have around is mud, rigs turn out a little different! I spent just about everyweekend out at this place camping and shooting and hosting demolition derbies with junk yard cars, and usually getting muddy. Enjoy the videos!

Thanks for the videos and the write up! Great to know a little more about the folks on the site! SCRUBICON also grew up in a 'mudders' 4x area.

Randy...Florida? Me, too...., though I would say the 'rednecks' are from Jacksonville north and everything south is just sort of alien....though there are areas of redneckness..
