Ave. annual rainfall where I live is about 15" ... last week we got about 7". This gave me a chance to do a little muddin' on the driveway ...

Clean-up is going to be a *itch, but I think I can handle it

 

thats it? heck, my 2WD gets more mud on it going down the driveway

 

All the places in California I've lived are basically desert (get a little rain in the winter, none in the summer). I'm sure if you looked hard enough you could find some mud, but in all my off-roading I never see it (nor do I look for it). When I looked out at my truck the other day, I saw a little mud up on the sides of the tires, and it looked odd (I usually see dust, not mud). I thought the contrast between that and the mud covered trucks I see on this site was funny ...
