    Default Thawed ground Shenanigans!!!!

    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


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

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

    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.
    Mom's comin' 'round to put it back the way it ought to be.

    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!
    All I have in this world is my balls and my word and I don't break em for no one.

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