Nice! Looks like a fun trip

Very interesting but I must say that mud/swamps/water has never appealed to me and I avoid it whenever possible. Must be because I live and explore in Utah/Colorado deserts and mountains. I've always regarded looking for and wheeling deliberately through deep mud/swamps as not Treading Lightly. Just my two cents worth.

It's easy to be high & mighty about tread lightly when you live in Colorado and have amazing access to trails. What would you do if you lived on the east coast? Would you make the drive to Colorado from NY if you got the hankering to do some offroading? I doubt it. You'd do exactly what they are doing, which is going down the legal trails that are available to them.

If you ever come out east, then you'll just have to stick to the blacktop.

there isn't a much of trail when things come down to this...

this isn't redneck, "let's go muddin'" type stuff. these are legally labeled trails by FWC, they are on maps, but the trails are not defined once you get going into the swamp. you can guess as to what the trail is like, but you still need to take the safest line....

once again, a LEGAL and marked (mapped) trail by florida fish and game in a wildlife preserve.... no defined "trail" seen.... and yes, we drove through that. 3 hours of slow 6" to 24" deep water. it was a miserable trip....


Tread Lightly is an awesome concept. Try not to tear up the land, keep it legal, keep it safe. it just should be noted it is much more difficult in a swamp like the Everglades where I'm from. you cannot follow the defined path, there is none even if it does "exist", you have to make your own and if u turn around, you need to retrace your steps so you dont tear anything else up.


oh, and I have the DVD, it was a fun set of clips. some of that mud was miserable, definitely something that makes my stomach churn. the Foward control was a blast to watch.

Never been back East. Never plan on going. Never moving there. If I had been born in the East I would have walked, crawled, driven West. I was lucky to have been born a Nebraska ranch/farm boy and then went farther West. Am I lucky to live where I do? Yup. I count my lucky stars everyday.
