I Have Something to Say

I went mud bogging!

So last year was my first time. One of my best friends (I call her redneck Sally) got married.

Her husband's sister threw them a hoedown reception deep in the country! (that's a whole other story that I must share!) I was warned all week by both of my best friends to dress down (because I am the prissy one of the bunch.)

Her husband got her this contraption to me it looked like a gutted out Jeep with some huge tires I think she called them super swampers or something for a wedding gift and it was loud as heck!

Towards the end of the reception we went to her house and she made me strip out of my clothes and put on these other clothes and she was like put your hair in a ponytail. So we hopped in this thing and she shot off like a rocket. I was scared shitless!!! We were bouncing all over the place. She was like it just rained we got some good holes to hit. 😂😂😂😂

We went into the woods and dead end to a swamp and it was filled with gators. I was so scared but I was trying not to let it show but I was having a panic attack on the inside. The drive and the swamp was too much adrenaline. So we leave there and go DEEPER into the woods and by this time it was getting dusk dark. The brush was high trees touching us overhead and we were riding on what used to be a narrow trail and it was close to a canal 😐. So all of a sudden a huge plop hit me on my shoulder I knew it was a snake so I started screaming and trying to come out of my shirt they fell out laughing saying calm down its only mud!

To make matters worse she come to a clearing explaining to us that they trap gators there and she shuts off the jeep and they decide to take a smoke break in the middle of FREAKING NOWHERE. All I could think about was that blacks be the first to get killed in horror movies! 😂😂😂 So we're making our way back out of the woods mud coming from every angle and the engine started spurting we were giving out of gas. I can only think of a few other times that I've prayed so hard. We laugh and joke about it now but my prayers lead us to a gas pump!

To be honest that was one of the most fun filled days I've ever had. In two weeks we're going back and I can't wait to see what adventure we're about to partake in! My only requests are that her husband joins us and she has a full tank of gas. 😉

That’s a good funny story! You did an excellent job describing what it was like... you had me laughing :) did you end up going back for round two yet? It feels good to get a little dirty now and then doesn’t it? Lol.

@Timetoo we're going this weekend. Glad you got a laugh. It was great fun!

Sweet!! Now you know what to expect and can enjoy it more instead of fearing for your life. Lol. I gather that you were definitely not raised in or near the country?

@Timetoo actually I was raised in the country but never did anything like that. I've heard of it but I was like what fun is that getting all dirty. LOL!

I have to admit I was raised totally in the country and I haven’t done anything like that either. Lots of fishing and walking through the woods and riding a bike all over though. It’s pretty cool To have a friend like that to share her new 4 wheel toy with you. Now what are you you going to invite her to do with you? Lol

@Timetoo sit on the porch and drink mint julep! Ha! Since I moved to the "big city" I would have to go to her neck of the woods. I would go fishing but I don't like baiting my own hook so I would just sit back and enjoy the scenery especially this time of year and let them catch the fish and turtles and gators.

Sitting on the porch drinking mint juleps sounds like a perfect way to spend an afternoon :) Im sure you could find someone who would bait your hook and even take your fish off the hook for you. Have you ever tried turtle or gator before? Please let me know how your second attempt a mudding goes. Who woulda thought is was so much fun to get so soaked with mud lol
