Im up here in beautiful Flaxton, ND and we have had decent weather for 2 weeks and everything is thawing
and the locations on the rigs I have visited are all about the same. Nothing but hug mud pits with 2' to 5' deep rutted out areas.
My particular location has a berm holding back 2ft deep of water from an adjacent field. We are pumping that water to
a culvert that is diverting water away from us, but there is just to much water and the hilarity ensues with the following pics.

Front End Loader we use as a forklift also is sunkin about a 3' deep mud pit[ROFL1]

Bed truck stuck in front of our shack that was going to be using its wench to pull the front end loader out [LOL]

Be sure to wipe your feet before you go in that shack.

Thankfully they have dry Skoria (SP?) on location, just those areas are super muddy,wet and soupy and Im not the one out there having to dig them out. [Coffee]

ND is downhill from everything around it, has massive annual snowfall, and mostly untouched wetlands for as far as the eye can see. Happens all the time up there. I lived in grand forks as a kid for a while. I knew how to sandbag before I was old enough to know what sex was.

Up side is you can grow just about anything in the mudd.

yeah I laugh at the yahoos around here that drive huge lifted trucks with mudder tires all year, but up there they really serve a purpose.

I always wanted a lift on my truck and some bigger tires...but the gas mileage would just suck balls.

That looks like some serious mud up there! would be a blast on my 4 wheeler!

Laying in the mud will give your skin that healthy, fresh look.
